I agree, there should be some process to challenge that a law is too obscure, and if the judge agrees with the defendant, the defendant's charge is dropped and a process put into motion to dramatically increase public awareness of the law.

It seems we have a blanket policy to address ignorance of the law, which makes no sense because the whole point of trials is to make decisions case-by-case.

I don't think this process would be used often though.
