Legal Question in Traffic Law in California

Traffic citation question... I am an Arizona resident. I received a citation for no front license plate. Violation 5200A in Torrance,CA. In the state of Arizona you are not issued two plates, just one and it shall be attached to the rear. I am trying to avoid a trip to court out there. Is there anything I can do over the Phone pr mail? Maybe talk to a judge. Thanks

california vehicle code:

5200. (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.

I know the prosecutor who handles traffic cases in Torrance and I would be glad to represent you on the case for $100, payable by credit card. You would also need to fax me the citation. I will also file a claim with the city to try and get your $100 back. There is no need for you to appear.
