Folks, this is LIKE A PARKING TICKET. It is not criminal. It has no affect relating to loss of any constitutional rights. The plea of no contest is not an admission of quilt of anything and he avoids a felony trial, (notice this is not even a misdemeanor but a civil charge), which would have conviction risk and definitely cost many thousands of dollars. Smart move in my opinion.
