On the way to take my son to daycare this morning I pulled behind a vehicle much nicer than mine when I noticed a small problem. At the next red light, I snapped this picture to share with our readers. 
As you can see, the driver of this vehicle is a New Orleans Saints fan (I’m gonna guess post-2005 when all the Saints fans came out of the woodwork). He’s proudly displaying his loyalty to his NFL team by placing a mighty fine tag cover around his license plate. What he probably does not realize is that he is giving any law enforcement officer probable cause to pull him over.
The Mississippi Code, specifically in 27-19-31, states in relevant part: “Any person who…covers any portion of a license tag with any sticker, decoration, paint, marking, license plate bracket or holder…in such a manner that the characters and any legally affixed decals on the tag cannot be read, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction, shall be punished by a fine of not more than Twenty-five dollars. ($25.00)” The statute goes on to say that it’s acceptable for the county name at the bottom of the tag to be partially or completely covered.
