Does that justify it in your mind?

Ignorance of the law does not excuse breaking it, right?

Ignorance of the law does not excuse breaking it. However, ignorance of the facts does. For instance, if you possess a backpack in which someone else has placed marijuana, but you don't know about it, you are not guilty*. If you know about the marijuana but don't know that it is illegal, you are guilty.

*This may not save you in Singapore, where you are presumed to be a drug trafficker for having more than a not-that-large amount of marijuana and there is a mandatory death penalty.
