Can a city parking officer cite me for no front licence plate?

Bought an Infiniti this year. They don't come with the front licence plate fixed. Tonight had my car parked in San Francisco and I got a 'friendly' $105 ticket for "No Plates". Can a city parking officer cite this
The California Vehicle Code says that vehicles issued with two license plates must display them both (CVC 5200). So, one important question here is: regardless of whether the front license plate was fixed when you bought the car, did the DMV ISSUE two plates for this car?
CVC 11713.17 may also be applicable to your case - it deals with what dealers must do when selling you your car.
Yes, California requires front and back license plates. I know if will not keep the look of the car as you want it but you will continue to run into issues until you remedy the issue.

In response to your additional information you are correct. Get the plates mounted correctly, go to a police station and ask an officer to sign off on the ticket. Follow the other procedures you describe and this should take care of it.
