i think having two of the plates that you were issued displayed also has something to do with the traffic cameras here, since if you had no front plate and ran a red and the camera took a pic in front of you it couldnt get your plate numbers. not sure how cali laws apply to non-residents.

That's half of the reason why Californians need both front and rear license plates. Traffic cameras also help recover stolen vehicles, as do law enforcement officials. If there are two license plates being displayed on a stolen vehicle, that (theoretically) increases the chances of identifying the stolen vehicle by 50%.
Also, law enforcement officials are in development of a held-held license plate reading gun, similar to the laser bar code readers in a store.
