Ignorance of this law will not get you leniency from the police. You will be arrested and sent to jail. Also, the Mexican judicial system is governed by Napoleonic Law which states that you are presumed guilty and must prove your innocence, the opposite of the U.S. laws. The American consulate in Tijuana, Mexico also posts a similar warning on their official website (emphasis theirs):
The court's decision of either adjudicating you guilty or withholding the adjudication of guilt will determine if you are convicted. If the court adjudicates you guilty you have been convicted of the offense. If the court withholds the adjudication of guilt the court has not convicted you. Florida law has this alternative to sentencing that allows a person to escape the penalty of a conviction for many reasons too expansive to list here.
