This is only possible when we have the knowledge of legal and illegal activities. It is true that as normal people, we are not supposed to know everything about law. However, it is surely possible to update ourselves with the basics. For instance, whether you are an employer or employee, you ought to know the law of running the firm or working in it, which could be termed as employment law. Any deviation can put you under the scanner.
