St. Charles asks residents to send pics of cars with illegal temp tags

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:19:20 GMT

ST. CHARLES, Mo. – The mayor of St. Charles wants citizens to help get drivers with expired temporary tags off the streets. He’s calling on them to take pictures of the Illegal tags and send them to the city, so they can pursue legal action.“One of the primary complaints is temp tags,” Mayor Dan Borgmeyer said. “We really can’t assign officers just to handle that, so the police chief and I collaborated and came up with a plan where we’re asking people, if you’re behind a car with an expired tag, take your cell phone, take a picture of it, and we’ll have an email address that they can send it too, and then we’ll follow up on that. Then we can turn this into an administrative function instead of a police function.”The mayor’s idea comes as the state implements a new law that may eliminate 90% of temp tags. The law would have auto dealers collect the sales taxes and presumably fold that into the cost of the vehicle.The law went into effect on Monday but won’t be fully implemented for a...
