I observed the vehicle not have a front license plate as required per CVC 5200(a); When two license plates are issued by the department for use upon a vehicle, they shall be attached to the vehicle for which they were issued, one in the front and the other in the rear.

I advised Rocha of the violation and he pointed at his front license plate to be sitting on the passenger side of his dashboard in a horizontal position. I advised Rocha the plate had to be securely fastened and visible on the front bumper.

Additionally, I observed Rocha to have a slurred speech and to have red/watery eyes. Again, I asked Rocha how long ago was it since he had an alcoholic beverage's and he stated, "I don't drink alcohol sir, I...
