I live in the U.S.A.
I suspect there are a bunch of laws being passed, and who knows how many are already on the books. I would like to know if there is a way for the average citizen to know if he/ she is breaking the law.
Anyone?

I wonder that myself, where the heck is any law posted so someone who does not know them, can find them, and even know they exist in the first place. I have seen a few law books, but as far as a lot of people know, they take it on faith.

I think there should be signs that say that there are laws we need to follow, otherwise, we shouldn't just expect people to know the many many laws there are. Also, the signs should tell us where the laws are written down.
(Buckle up, its the law, about the only sign i've seen with a law on it, oh yeah, no smoking, and no drinking and driving)

The simple answer is that we are NOT supposed to know what the laws are. If we did there would be a revolution.

I know I try and stay informed on my rights as a person and that is what makes my laws.

My local library has law books where you can look laws up.

Or contact a lawyer.

For Federal laws (and local ones), try contacting the court house.

I dont know myself but I can give an example-on another site moms were discussing children being sent to school sick and one said she would send cough drops with hers-but in my daughters district cough drops are a drug and if they are caught with them its treated the same as if it were crack-the student is expelled and referred to juvenile authorities . Most people wouldnt consider that but its in the handbook-at least we have that. I reckon you can find criminal code online but otherwise I dont know. Anyhow the woman had no clue that cough drops are considered drugs so it was lucky that she was in that conversation.
