It's not the city. As pointed out already, California Vehicle Code 5200:
http://dmv.ca.gov/pubs/vctop/vc/tocd3c1a9.htm
http://dmv.ca.gov/pubs/vctop/d03/vc5200.htm
So, according to the VC, since I've been issued two plates, I
evidently need to display two plates. Bah.
This brings up the question of "grandfathering" that I brought
up before. I don't believe we need, for example, seatbelts,
but I couldn't find the actual VC that allows for this
(CVC 27315k only discusses the *manufacture* of newer vehicles).
And, near as I can tell, the ticket is *not* a fix-it ticket, it's
a regular SFPD notice of parking violation with a fine of $100.
Maybe this is monetarily influenced. I have never needed a front
plate, but it looks like I need to start looking into figuring
out how to attach one unless someone can come up with a good
legal argument otherwise.
