In California the front license plate tickets are usually fix it tickets. Once you put your plates on you can take it to any police station and get it signed off. we end up paying $15.00 in the end

Even for a fix it ticket, have you ever been pulled over when it's convenient? I'll keep my front plate and avoid the hassle

Good luck with it and see if it's a fix it ticket. put the front plate on and tell em ur bumper was just painted and needed the paint to cure before putting the plate on.
