“BS. She should have obeyed the law like the rest of us.”
Nonsense. She probably didn’t know. And IMHO the “ignorance is no defense” thing is BS. Back when the law was based on common sense, OK, but today it is volume after volume after volume of fine print legalese. Of course ignorance is a defense. Not even the lawyers know all the laws. This is the kind of thing that jury nullification is for, and if I were on the case, I would be happy to employ it.
Exactly. This is why they almost never charge their victims with a crime. They charge the cash/property, which has no constitutional rights for due process or a jury of their peers. This is simple theft under color of law. Those participating deserve to be robbed of their lives.
