    Got pulled over this morning in Ga on I85 N in the Marauder

    Me and the wife are heading to Clemson for the game and got pulled over. I thought it would be for the tint. To my surprise he pulled me over for my lite smoke tag cover. Said he couldn't read my tag at all as he was behind me. He was nice though and didn't give us a ticket.

    Didn't say a word about the tint.

    Got the EXACT same thing happen to me leaving SSHS last event .....Ga. Trooper--saying ...."''when in GA, you got to follow Ga Law...." I said was heading back to NC, where its ok........(at the time--not any longer)-
    Gave me a warning ticket---said to remove it next time thru the state-

    A lot folks need to know they REALLY DON"T LIKE TINTED TAG COVERS-- and I understand--not a problem--took mine off --and stays off---

    FWIW, any covering on a plate in NYS is illegal. The states are in a money grab and will be until the economy turns around.

    Kentucky is no different.

    I was never a fan of license plate covers to begin with.

    It's also a good idea in the winter months to ensure snow isn't covering your plate as a former G/F of mine was lit-up for that reason.

    I've also had problems with it. Get a veil tag cover it reduces lidar laser from cops and there's nothing they can say about it cause they can't see it. The only reason for tint tag covers is red

    I've got a lightly tinted security cover on my plate, that as well missouri doesn't allow. So far no bad interactions...use mine more for the security features. Also don't have a front plate as MO requires as I hate to drill holes in the bumper.
