It should not be legal to cover any part of the tag that has information on it, such as the number, decal or the states name. Let’s remember there are 50 states and all have personal tags and speciality tags, so there’s probably 500 or more combinations with out knowing what state it is regestered to. As far as a sticker covering the orange not much info there. Nor should you be allowed to cover the tag with a plastic cover, again the tag becomes unreadable at night, the headlights hits the cover and all you can see is a glare.

What's good for the goose is good for the gander. What I get from this article is a lot of folks in the legal system did quite a bit of jukin and jiving to make sure a single arrest was not overturned. As we all know, this is exactly how a legal system is supposed to work. Anything is OK on one side and everybody else will do their best to see that it stays that way. Smelled marijuana but found pills? How hokey can you get?

The law was changed.

But it said that was too late for Pena." T 98 – Was your incident after January 1, 2016? The law was changed.

So Florida is not the only state to have had this rule in the past.
