You can always plead not guilty. If you wish to contest the charges in any way, that is where you start. Even if guilty many people plead not guilty so they will "get their day in court".
as to what to do with the sign:
actually taking the sign would have been theft. Leaving it on the ground as you did is littering. You should have mounted your sign using a new stick.
Under the circumstances that I explained in my last post, it didn't occur to me that it was littering. What are the chances that they'll consider me innocent if I just say that it was an absent minded mistake?
Thanks.
I'd try something like; "The sign wanted to be left there Your Honor!"
That may make the judge chuckle a little instead of just getting pissed after hearing one of the oldest and lamest in-court excuses.
