I hope you don't write software with that kind of logic. You cannot follow a law that you are ignorant of. The word you're looking for is "no defence". Even that is debatable, subject to the reading of relevant applicable laws. Let's leave laws to lawyers and judges, shall we?

It is, however, an extenuating circumstance.
