What the hell is up with our landlord

"IGNORANCE OF THE LAW IS NOT AN EXCUSE"

This actually can be an excuse in laws concerning contracts here. Take a look (please note the word imbecile):

Effect if the guilty party is acquitted When the guilty party is acquitted, the acquittal of the guilty party in the criminal case filed does not extinguish the civil liability unless it is stated in the judgment that the fact from which the civil action might arise did not exist. ( Rule III, Sect 3, Revised Rules of Court) The following persons are exempted from criminal liability even if the act committed constitutes a crime:

1. An imbecile or insane person, unless he acted during a lucid interval.

2. A person under 9 years old.

3. A person over 9 years old but below 15 , unless he acted with discernment.

4. Persons acting under the compulsion of an irresistible force.

5. Persons acting under the impulse of an uncontrollable fear of an equal or greater injury.

The above-mentioned persons are exempted from criminal liability but not from civil liability. This civil liability shall devolve upon their guardian, or persons whose control or authority they are under.

What is an irresistible force? God? Money? Food? Water? Seems a bit shady too me.

If I could not resist the urge then it must have been irresistible. Probably should just have the statute printed on a card and carry it around with me. It would be better than my Monopoly "Get out of jail free" card.
