This has been a pet peeve for most of my life.

If you or I unknowingly break a law, we're prosecuted and told, 'ignorance of the law is no excuse'.

When a politician, judge, lawyer, cop, breaks the law, their lawyer will say, 'your honor, my client is a pillar of society', and the judge will let them off with a slap on the wrist.

Now, if IGNORANCE of the law is no excuse why is it people with actual KNOWLEDGE of the law get lighter sentences?

It is my humble belief PEOPLE WHO KNOW THE LAW should be punished more severely for their flagrant disregard for the law.
