How long do you have to put on license plates on a new car?

Isn't 90 days?
Just got a ticket from a cop, can anyone point me to an official link?
thanks

From the CA DMV website.

"How long is the Purchaser's Temporary Operating Copy valid?
The permit the dealer provides for display on the passenger side of the front window is valid until the plates and stickers are received by the customer, or for 90 days from the sale date, whichever comes first."

I believe the law just changed this year. From a new or used car lot , now you are given a white paper plate before you leave the lot. I don't know how it works if you buy from a private party.
