Prior to 1994 when this law was amended, the statute read ?fined not
more than $100?. This was changed in 1994 to read ?shall be fined
under this title? which effectively gives the court the authority to
impose a fine at its discretion. Of course the imprisonment terms
mentioned in the statute speaks for itself.
So.. this means that you are in, right???
