Got one of these on the VDP outside of Fog City Diner a couple of months
ago. At that time it was a fix it and had only a $10 processing fee. Had
the ticket signed off by the Windsor PD forwarded a copy to S. F. No
problem. Things may have since changed. I am however prepared. Have used
an old lic plate frame and plate and attached pieces of coat hanger that
I can clip right on to the chrome bar on the air intake of the VDP. 2
minute job used often in S F. YRMV

Hi All,
I believe that this is no longer a simple fixit ticket. I read a couple
years ago that it was a fixit with a mandatory $80 'processing'
fee included. San Francisco seems to be the jurisdiction most rabid
about this 'violation' and it's the meter maids issuing most of the
tickets. I think there is something in the DMV regs about successive
violations incurring increasing financial penalties. The obvious
conclusion is that this has very little (Nothing!) to do with safety and
everything to do with revenue enhancement.
