Thread: Trailer tags

Boat trailers are exempt in Tn. So you shouldn't get a ticket in Tn for no boat trailer tags. If the officer knows the law.

WHEN I WAS LIVING IN CORINTH ,MS . WE WERE STOPPED THE FIRST TIME WE WENT TO PICKWICK . TOLD US IF HE SAW US AGAIN THAT HE WOULD WRITE CITATION . WAS HIGHWAY PATROLMAN AND WE NEVER GAVE HIM ANOTHER CHANCE .

TN doesn't issue boat trailer tags. I guess if ya live in TN, yer getting pulled over again and again.

Tennessee will write you in a heartbeat ! Have been told alabama will also . The reason ms . Got all mixed up was over a truck patch farmer faught a ticket back in the 70/80 's and won . It aint worth the trouble , will run one from now on . Those that live on the lake ( same county ) would never be stopped . None of my buddies in water valley have ever bought one . But they only fish enid .

That information is wrong. They would not even sell me one for my boat trailer here in Bama!
So my questions if the state you come from don't require one how can another state write you a ticket.
If they can why can they not write a ticket for a inspection sticker for an out of state car or truck??

What ever your state requires as far as registration should be honored by neighboring states. The Commissioner enters into reciprocal agreements with the other states to honor what the home state requires. Tn will issue trailer tags but only if the owner requests them.
