A person can be found guilty of a strict liability crime even if they had no intent to commit the offense or knowledge of their violation.
False
True
This statement is true. Strict liability crimes do not require the prosecution to prove the defendant's mental state (mens rea). The commission of the act itself is sufficient for conviction, regardless of intent or knowledge. These offenses are often regulatory in nature and aim to ensure public safety, such as traffic violations or selling expired food. Any argument requiring evidence of intent or knowledge misapplies the principle of strict liability.
