The justice department tried to count all the federal criminal laws once. The best they could come up with was a rough estimate, and that didn't even include state or local laws. There are literally so many criminal laws now that no one is able to count them all, let alone understand them.

Is it fair to penalize someone if they couldn't possibly know their behavior was criminal?
