Out this morning doing some Christmas shopping, and it seemed like everytime I was stopped at a red light, the vehicle in front of me had an expired paper tag. Don't they get stopped for those? The reason I ask...my lovely bride was driving her car in Norman recently when stopped because the decal on her tag was expired. That cost me $110 fine and then a penalty of another $100 the next day when I sheepishly had to go to the tag agent and get the decal I forgot to get a couple of months earlier.

If you think expired tags are bad you would probably be astonished at the number of people who have no valid insurance. If I’m not mistaken I think a vehicle with an expired tag of more than 60 days is subject to being impounded. Of course all that takes time so a Police Officer might be reluctant to do it since they are busy with more serious issues. I just bought a new car and was hoping for at least a kiss from the cute girl at the tag agency for the amount it cost me.

I usually don’t write a citation unless they are three months out or so on expired tags. You can legally have the vehicle towed after 3 months out but I don’t do that. Yes you can legally make a traffic stop for an expired paper tag after 30 days from the date on the tag. A lot of bigger cities are so busy taking reports on thefts and such that they don’t have time to enforce traffic violations.
