This question makes me wonder if you one shot each pelican or do you run it a few times to get the best one?

Anyone familiar with license plate rules in California? I haven't put a license plate on my car for 10 years. I've been given a "fix it" ticket, but nothing worse. Am I just getting nice officers or is that the full extent of what the officers can do? (The car is always registered with insurance)
