> Some juicy federal crimes we're all expected to know

No, we are not all expected to know them.

The first one is from a part of the tax code that covers taxation on alcohol sales. If you are not involved in the commercial beer brewing industry, you do not need to know it.

The second one is part of the rules on interstate commerce in food, drugs, and cosmetics. Again, most of us have no need to know it. Same with the sixth one.

The third is from the laws governing public lands. If you aren't going to fly your hot air balloon into a Federal wilderness area, there is no need to know it.

...and so on.



Yes, you don't need to know them until you need to know them. But then you do.


If you become a weapons manufacturer I’m sure there’s also a lot to know, much of which will appear as completely niche law to everyone else.
