Most of the time, if they pull you over with out of state license plates, they'll ask for your license, if your license is from california, they will often become ****s and ask how long you've been in the state, etc...
Luckily, Cali has a wonderful thing called trial by written declaration.
Fill out a form describing your case, submit the bail amount and any supporting documentation, military orders etc... cite any valid penal or other codes to support your case and just mail it in.
Six months later, you will get a check for the bail amount once they side with you, which happens the majority of the time even if you're wrong lol...
I beat a 105 mph speeding ticket doing that.
They caught me on aircraft radar while I was getting away from some road rager, then I slowed back down and was not speeding when the cop pulled me over and gave me a ticket.
In California, the citing officer has to witness the crime or it will be thrown out. If the aircraft radar operator doesn't come down and write you the ticket, fight it and you will win.
I also got my wife out of a cali stop ticket TWICE, because the cops made the mistake of replying to my wife's "I did come to a stop" with "You didn't stay stopped long enough for me to witness the stop".
I cited the cali veh code that basically states, you do not have to come to a stop for any specified period of time, only come to a complete stop, and the tickets were thrown out.

p.s. Never admit in writing or verbally to breaking the law or you WILL lose. In the case where I beat the 105 mph ticket, I stated that I had to accelerate to escape a dangerous situation but was not aware of how fast I had to go.
