The bolded part above is extremely troubling. should anyone NOT need to know the laws? when ignorance of the law is no excuse?

Recently, Washington DC police raided a chain of local stores that sell hemp products (perfectly legal) and smoking implements like pipes (also legal, if it cannot be proven that the intent is to use them for smoking illegal substances).
4. While your Affiant was looking at the smoking devices U/C [redacted] observed a DVD that was for sale entitled "10 Rules for Dealing with Police". The DVD gave the following listed topics that were covered as:
A. Deal with traffic stops, street stops and police at your door.
B. Know your rights and maintain your cool, and;
C. Avoid common police tricks and prevent humiliating searches.
Your Affiant notes that while this DVD is informative for any citizen, when introduced into a store that promotes the use of a controlled substance this DVD becomes a tool for deceiving law enforcement to keep from being arrested. The typical citizen would not need to know detailed information as to US Supreme Court case law regarding search and seizure because they are not transporting illegal substances in fear of being caught.
