Just feel like pointing out that the police will arrest, fine or otherwise justly reward you for breaking the law, regardless of whether you know of the law or not. You're expected to know and follow the laws of the state, and failure to do so is your own fault and no one else's.

Of course, like many cops, they probably won't be as hard on you if it's your first infraction and you truly didn't know.
