I don't think they have to know ever law on the books, However thats why there are law books. The DA or ADA in the county could look up a law very quickly there also out on the web as well.
Here's one link

My point would be if an officer makes a stop and he's unsure of the law maybe he should carry $.25 to call the DA or ADA to find out if he's on solid ground or ice breaking up under him I'm sure the CLEO and the Solicer for the town would also have access to the law sites on line.
