Might want to keep that in mind, too, regardless of where you are.

you're fucked because under state law you're gonna go before a judge. you will most likely end up with a criminal record (maybe not for first offense, depends on the judge i'd guess). but you'll get to pay a nice hefty fine and as you mention, lose eligability for federal student aid.
under city law it would have just been a $25 fine or something near that. relatively speaking, going under state law is getting fucked. and not in the good way.
