California Vehicle Code Section 5200: License plates are issued by the department for use upon a vehicle, they shall be attached to the vehicle for which they were issued, one in the front and the other in the rear.
The rest of section 5200 delineates where and how the plates must be fastened to the vehicle. If you receive a ticket for not displaying front plate (which i have many times) its fix a ticket. So you either pay the fine or get a front plate attach it and have an officer sign off on it. Now a days parking meter attendant have been issuing no front plate tickets as well. I am assuming this is because CA is trying to get money anywhere possible. This is where the situation really gets bootleg because i have parked my car at meters to return and see no front plate tickets on my baby issued by METER MAIDS!
If you want to help petition for getting rid of the display of front plate law in CA please visit the link below.

You are living in a totalitarian state KAF, you either don't realize it or it doesn't bother you enough to do something about it. Not unlike the USA, where the creeping invasions into personal liberties are chipping away little by little at everyday life - and I don't mean the Patriot Act.

I've seen many of these petitions in many different forums over the years. I think most people gave up because it's not going to happen...
