bearing on the case.
Actually, it does. If the vehicle should have been registered in a
foreign jurisdiction, and was, and had the valid plates, the owner is
exempt from California registration under California law. If Quebec
wasn't actually issuing new registration stickers, it doesn't matter
that the registration sticker wasn't current; the plates were still valid.

Huh?? The cop (per the OP) obviously made a mistake but just what does
that have to do with enforcing CA law? If I read your response
correctly, it sounds like you think the cop doesn't even have the right
to question the foreign states DMV as to status, after all, the vehicle
isn't registered in CA so...
Cop made a mistake but wrote the correct ticket (erroneously) and the
ticket would cite CA law, not Quebec. My response above had absolutely
nothing to do with "was the car registered legally?" Only correcting
someones beleif that that cop was somehow enforcing Quebec law
(erroneously).
