JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – The state of Missouri is hoping to reduce the number of expired temporary license tags with a new state law.It seems to be a problem in all parts of the state: expired or fake temporary license tags. Some cities are taking unique approaches to deal with the issue. The focus of the new law is to crack down on the issue, but it will be years before it's implemented.It's not just a St. Louis or Kansas City problem; it's the entire state."I think we all temp tags have, needless to say, been forged, been used, been doctored, been everything that possibly could happen," Gov.

Michael O'Donnell, R-St. Louis County, said. "It's really become a problem." Police: DWI, hit-and-run suspect caught by his o...
