Gotta read the WHOLE section, not just the first paragraph...
http://www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/vctop/vc/tocd3c1a9.htm
The line that says that no covers can be used over the license plate also means it can't be behind glass (I.E. windshield).
No, propping it up on the dash doesn't cut it.

Don't forget about window tinting. As far as I understand the law non of the front windows my be tinted unless doctor prescribed or they are a factory tint. If anyone has anything to add on this one, I welcome all responses.

Even with a doctor's note, it must be a "removable" film or shade, not tint.

rossing fingers:: lolits a fixit ticket...you can take off the tints, goto a shereif's station and they will write off the ticket for free. Otherwise i think its something like 15.00 to get it written off. You also have to pay like 10.00-15.00 fee to the court.

In the Dirty South working tail lights are optional and turn signals are illegal!
