The laws of all countries are to be found in written records - the legal codes of countries with continental systems, the statutes and case judgments of common law countries, warnings on official forms and notices in public buildings. Many people do not know where to find these records and do not find it easy to read them. But ignorance of the law is almost never a defense for breaking it. Governments usually expect citizens to be aware of the laws which affect their lives. Sometimes they seem very harsh, for example, when the law is very technical.
