A police officer has a man in a car pulled over on the side of the road. The officer is pointing towards a board with a long math equation written on it.
An officer wouldn't have a large chalkboard handy with a formula to show how fast the man had been driving.
Why didn't the police officer just have a radar gun to detect speed? Where did the officer get the chalkboard?
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.
