A traffic cop points out a math equation on a blackboard. He is currently pulling over a driver and explaining the math equation.
The traffic cop would be halting and disrupting traffic if he were to do this. He would also be catching less people breaking the speed limit.
Why is the cop pointing to a math equation?
Save it. Ignorance of the law is no defense.

A joke about cumbersome and confusing laws. This saying is a normal thing cops might say if they pulled you over for something illegal that you didn't understand was illegal. But here, the laws require convoluted advanced mathematical understanding that few possess. The cop explaining the math on the chalkboard to the confused and helpless driver is a funny over-exaggeration of the complexity of modern laws.
