I have a delicate issue that needs to be addressed.

I maintain dual residency. One here in CA, and the other in DC.

For each residence, I have a car - i.e. I have a registered car in CA, and a registered car in DC. Unfortunately, I got a ticket while driving my DC registered car here in CA.   Generally, the DC car stays in DC.   The ticket issued states I need to get the DC car registered here.  

Personally, I don't want to - why?  Because the car is seldom used here in CA, and I don't want to pay dual registration.  

DMV has never encountered such a problem, and have been less than helpful.

Anyone has "legal" suggestions to address this.

Unfortunately DMV has encountered that very problem before... Including the fact that car #2
is registered in DC. I had the very same issue.
Pulled over for speeding and wound up having to transfer registration from DC to CA. I fought with DMV for over a month to no avail.

Sorry I am no help. I hope you have better luck than I did...

I went to court armed with documents...

1. Showing residency in DC.  

2. Valid registration for both cars - one for CA, and the other for DC.

3. Provided an explanation that I was visiting, and that the DC car was going back to DC.

Case dismissed!

and I don't have to read about them anymore.

Actually it is good to see you have a happy ending, clearly it was a point of distress for you.
