In a nutshell I'd borrow money for an attorney to represent you as soon as you receive a summons. You can protest your ignorance all you want, but it means nothing in court after the deed is done, so deal with the here and now. You might be initially scared of a fine (and there will be one if you're prosecuted), but you also ought to think about what a criminal conviction might mean for you down the road as well. Definitely get an attorney to minimize the damage.
