Then have someone explain it to you. An "ignorance excuse" comment implies that since I was ignorant of the law, that I believe that this somehow excuses my actions. I didn't claim that, nor do I believe it. I was unaware of the law, and if it applied, and that is what I questioned. And the answer is that I was wrong, whether I agree with the law or not (I happen to agree with it).
Police officers are sometimes mistaken, sometimes full of shit. That is a fact of life. You may accept what they say blindly, I have learned not to do so. So yes, if there is something unclear, I will ask, and sometimes I will discover that they were wrong, and sometimes I will discover that they were 100% correct, as in this case.
As a side comment, if the officer had taken 30 seconds to explain, as was done here in the forum, there would have been no problem. Instead he acted like an asshole, which led me to verify what he claimed.
