3 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Hartzell · State v. Becker“It may be unrealistic, of course to expect drug dealers to take these steps, but that is irrelevant to the question whether the statute is unconstitutionally vague. The defendants' failure to have been aware of the law and to have taken action to protect themselves against the enhanced penalty for their criminal conduct is no basis for declaring the statute unconstitutionally vague.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Johnson“requirement contained in the statute's definition of school. RCW 69.50.435(f)(1). The record here shows that other means of readily ascertaining the location of YEP were available to Becker and Gantt. They could have called the Seattle School District regarding YEP.
