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):
If the case is being tried before a jury, the judge instructs the jury on how to apply the law to the case. Jurors deliberate privately to determine the outcome of a case. In criminal cases, a jury determines whether a defendant is guilty or not guilty and, in some cases, determines a penalty. The judge is responsible for formally sentencing the defendant at a later hearing. In a civil case, the jury determines whether a plaintiff has proven the case and what, if any, damages to award. Under certain circumstances, the judge may overrule the jury's determination or damage award.
