R.Y.,
I think its great that you know your constitutional rights, I know that sounds pat of me. Sometimes I really hate posting on here because it reminds of what I didn't know then. It actually offers me some relief to know now what we didn't know then, honest.
I'm sorry that we live in such an anarchist society that is masked as mercantile capitalism money making hot crap.
I wound up doing some community service that I never completed for the YMCA back a few years ago. You are welcome to make up your own non-profit that you can do at your leisure. If you provide information to anyone, such as homeless folks or whomever...this IS community service. You do not have to have, depending on your city and state rules, a 501c3 license to do community service for yourself and your community. I personally have a non profit that informs our community about facts and statistics of homelessness in and around our community. I am not in your state however. Think about that. Most PO's don't care what you do as long as it sounds legitimate and you can find someone they can call to verify the hours you work.
Also, if you think it is worth fighting the case, do so...most of the work can be done on your own as you are afforded the right to defend yourself and represent yourself. Doubtless with all the debating and confrotational skills you have amassed over time and from the past, you could beat this small insignificant 'charge' regarding whatever it is they think you did.
