Keeping the plates was entirely at the discretion of the DMV people behind
the counter, and I lived in an area where they were just plain asshats.
Unequal application of bureaucracy only gets worse as the bureaucracies get
bigger. Don't get me started on how completely screwed up the CA government
is, and no, more taxes isn't the solution.
