I recently got a parking ticket in DC for an expired meter.  I can deal
with that.  But the overzealous ticketer also gave me a ticket for not
having a front license plate, even though my car is registered in
Maryland.  Yes, Maryland requires a front plate, but in 2.5 years I've
never been fined for it (and I do realize it may only be a matter of
time).  Does DC actually have the ability to fine me for a Maryland law? 
I'd think not, but I'd appreciate advice from anyone who knows for sure. 
I'll pay the $15 expired meter ticket, but I'd rather not have to pay the
$50 or $60 ticket.
