From July 2009 when the law went into effect:
"In the meantime, scooter owners who park on a city sidewalk will be subject to a $65 ticket, Gillooly said - assuming they don’t try to get away without putting license plates on their vehicles. Mopeds, which are required to have stickers but not plates, will continue to be allowed to park on sidewalks."
I would guess from that that the cops will check to see if you have a sticker, if you don't have a plate.. and if not sticker or plate, might still tag you with a ticket.. And NO, I don't think it would be at all legal to just have the plate inside the vehicle, not visible. That defeats the whole purpose for a plate. The avowed reason for the requirement for plated scooters to park on the street was to make scooter riders more accountable. I"m not sure how that is supposed to work though..
