CALIFORNIA FRONT LICENSE PLATE LAW
Well, with the hot topic in the Californian today.  Here is the break down of this law. 

If you purchase a vehicle from a dealership and did not have a front license plate bracket.  They are breaking the law.  I'd go back and get these installed.  Unless they have a signed form stating you refused the bracket installed.  Then, they have nothing on you. 

$25 for a ticket if you do not have a license plate up front.  After a while, it will add up. 

Front License Plate Bracket

11713.17.  (a) Following the retail sale or lease of a motor vehicle for which the department issues two license plates, a dealer may not deliver the motor vehicle unless either of the following occurs:

(1) The motor vehicle is equipped with a bracket or other means of securing a front license plate.

(2) The dealer obtains a signed written acknowledgment from the person taking delivery of the motor vehicle acknowledging both of the following:

(A) The person expressly refused installation of a bracket or other means of securing the front license plate.

(B) The person understands that California law requires a license plate to be displayed from and securely fastened to the front of the motor vehicle and that the hardware necessary to securely fasten the front plate is available from the dealer.

(b) A manufacturer or distributor may not sell or distribute in this state a new motor vehicle for which the department issues two license plates, unless that motor vehicle is equipped or provided with a bracket or other means of securing the license plates.

Added Sec. 1, Ch. 365, Stats. 2004. Effective January 1, 2005.

A very simple law.  But it does get revenue goin' for the city.

I was ticketed for this once, about 4 years ago.  I bought a used wagon that had come from Florida, didn't have a front plate bracket or the holes to install one.  I was ticketed in LA (it was parked on the street), so after that I would just put the other plate on the dash and that solved the problem.
