I did a search, and the general concensus says that a front plate is necessary.
however, i bought my MSP at a dealer and they only issued me ONE plate. i looked up at the DMV website and found this:
<!-- #EndEditable -->"5200. <!-- #BeginEditable "section_content" --><!-- #EndEditable --><!-- #BeginEditable "addl_section_content" --> (a) When two license plates are issued by the department for use upon a vehicle, they shall be attached to the vehicle for which they were issued, one in the front and the other in the rear. (b) When only one license plate is issued for use upon a vehicle, it shall be attached to the rear thereof , unless the license plate is issued for use upon a truck tractor, in which case the license plate shall be displayed in accordance with Section 4850.5."
sooooo... am i safe? if a cop pulls me over (knock on wood) and asks about my front plate, how can i prove to him that the dealer only issued me one plate? thanks... and btw, i'm new to california, so it'll take a while for me to learn all the laws out here.
