My buddy called and told me the state troopers are pulling over every trailer without a tag near the Hernando exit.
I guess that answers my question of if you are supposed to have one. I have never had a tag on any trailer in my life. Guess I better get one on all.
Kinda odd they are just now enforcing it. Must need a few extra bucks for a bonus or something LOL
That reminds me that I need to take mine out of the boat and put it on the trailer!
Thanks, was told by the MHP office in Batesville it wasnt something they looked for.
Sardis has always been notorious for the trailer tag deal specially outa staters
They to cheap to not have and worry about MHP. Went with out for a long time and got lucky.
most laws are officer descretion.....so if the wrong guy stops ya.....Quote:

You pull a boat in Missouri, you better have tags on the trailer. They'll write ya in a heart beat!!!
Back in 88 i was told by a lawyer that ms . Has two laws governing trailer tags . One says you must have, the other says if your gross tongue weight is less than 5000 lbs . And you are not making a living with the trailer you don;t have to have one . In ms . I went from 1990 - 2012 without one . If you go out of state you best have one ! 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 .
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 .rotfl
TN doesn't issue boat trailer tags. I guess if ya live in TN, yer getting pulled over again and again.

If they can why can they not write a ticket for a inspection sticker for an out of state car or truck??
Tag... They double charged me and after getting the run a round for over a week I called channel 3... got my refund the next day!Quote:

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.
Got tags on all my trailers. Permanent tags. One time deal. (unless you loose them or they are stolen)
is that in mississippi? is that something you can request? went today to see about a tag for the boat. about 25$ a year.Quote:
