Do you have to KNOW that the act is illegal when you commit it?
For example, say that I BELIEVE that a Day Tripper will get me to Gosford.
I catch a train to Gosford, get off and revenue protection officers find
me, ask for my ticket and fine me.
I have actually committed an illegal act, even though I didn't know that it
was illegal, though I did have the intent to travel to Gosford. What does
'mens rea' mean in this situation?
