It was a mistake. A mistake is not necessarily restricted to simply "parking your car in the wrong spot." I know what I did was wrong and I'm willing to make up for it.

While it may usually happen again, you don't speak for everyone and I know that it definitely won't in my case. I've learned my lesson.

I don't care if you don't feel bad for me; you're a stranger on the Internet and I'm just simply seeking some advice on what to do next in my situation, that's it. And I'm grateful for the advice that I have received on this website.

First of all, I meant to say a disorderly persons offense. And second of all, I haven't been convicted as of today, therefore I am not a criminal.
A mistake means you did it accidentally. This was no mistake. OWN UP. If I were the judge and heard you talk like this, I'd lock you up.

Also, keep thinking that what makes a criminal is a conviction. If you murder someone and don't get caught, you are a murderer. And since murder is against the law, a criminal.

YOU ARE A CRIMINAL, whether you get convicted or not.

Oh, yeah .... GROW UP.
