Yes it is a fix-it ticket.  I got one a couple of years ago in conjuction with
a speeding ticket.  The cop didn't even tell me he was writing me up for it.  I
found out when I signed the ticket.  To get it corrected, I put on the old
plate and had a friend of a my wife who happens to be a sheriff's deputy sign
it off.   They might have charged me an additional $10.00, but the again it
might have been nothing.  Of course the deputy didn't even ask if I had put it
back on.  So I immediately took it off.  I have been driving in CA for about 3
years with out it.
