How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• “Proof of the requisite knowledge and willfulness ... is almost impossible unless affirmative steps are taken by the government to make the laws’ requirements known”
• “Since the purpose of all law ... is to conform conduct to the norms expressed in that law, no useful end is served by prosecuting the ‘violators’ when they have no knowledge of the law’s provisions”
• evidence tending to show that the defendant thought it might be illegal to enter the country with more than $5,000 does not support the finding that the defendant knew it was necessary to disclose that she was entering with more than $5,000
