No report made as required under this division (B) shall be used, directly or indirectly, as a basis for the prosecution of any violation of division (A) of this section.
(C) Any person failing to comply with this section shall upon conviction be punished by imprisonment for not less than 30 days nor more than 6 months or by a fine of not less than $100 or more than $500, or by both the fine and imprisonment.
