If someone breaks this law, they can face a misdemeanor or a felony depending on how many individuals are involved. Repeat offenders and those aiding multiple individuals can lose business licenses, face large fines, and even have their vehicles seized. Exceptions exist for law enforcement, emergency responders, and first responders acting in their official capacity.
