i got it a few times in SF. I usually just bring the ticket for correction to a nearest police station, usually fillmore. but before that, i would stick the plate using 2 double-sided tapes first just in case they wanna check the car. but they never check..

Yeah..paid the fix-it ticket for both violations...but, it's $25 all together...$10 to get it signed off...and another $15 to get it registered...

All in all - a waste of a beautiful afternoon in SoCal...

This has even got me turned off for future mods - was going for the all black look...but now I got a white front plate and clear front windows...

You do not have to correct the violations, simply pay the fines (no points)...They cost more ($144 for no plates) but keep your tint and front plate off.

Im from Frisko too and I just got one last week. Just use the double sided tape method, show it to the cop and take it off after they sign it off. Thats the best way to get around drilling holes onto your bumper. But in my case, my friend's cousin is a cop so he signs it off for me .

I guess I didn't get the memo that police officers are now board in LA as it is NOW the safest place to live!?

Honestly, just seems to me that they should be concentrating keepin' an eye out for the real criminals...
I guess the arguement would be that the car might be stolen...I don't know...just frustrated...

Just my 2 cents
i dont get why the cops would bother you about that, i understand if they said something about no having one if they pulled you over for something else but thats just anal, and the tint? dude its hot in socal, tell the cops to suck a fat one

kinda makes me afraid to move to irvine :\

i thought that in USA that number plate was only needed on the back only

Most countries require a plate on the front and the back.

Wow $100 for a fixing ticket?

Here in Los Angeles you pay $10 if you get it fixed.

The law is the law. I would love to walk around with my special cigarettes in the city but that's not happening. I would prefer to get rid of the license plates completely since that's pretty outdated stuff for a digital world these days. Just do it besides the local cops harass you even more about it in the future.
special cigarettes ... lol... but i understand what this guys going through with the no plate thing... i got ticket`s up the a$$.. but like you said the law is the law... i found that if you have tyhe plate in your front windsheil that would stop the fuzz from given a ticket....
