Jackson Jambalaya

1) what kind of orange tag is that? Dealership maybe?

2) guys with face tats probably don’t have insurance

Appears to be a JD Byrider pseudo-tag. Shouldn’t be much trouble for them to identify everyone who has purchased a red Jeep from them.

Since JPD doesn't enforce the laws already on the books concerning having to have a legal car tag these things happen.

Expectations of what JPD can accomplish with the skeletal force that currently remains on force have to be reset. I think KF understands but for those who don't, JPD is a shambles. The force is in the worst shape of its entire history.

I see people in Jackson all the time with old, dirty vehicles with dealer tags. Usually some fly by night used lot with in house financing. JPD should pull them over on sight. They don't.

Precinct 4 is in the same parking lot. Bold crimes for the "Bold New City".

In some parts of Jackson stopping for traffic signals is optional, some people don't even slow down. It doesn't take long for some people to get the message that law enforcement is extremely lax and unless they fear punishment they will have NO respect for the law. Murders get the headlines but it's complete disrespect out there.

So not really any unique identifying features. LOL

Why bother? They rarely prosecute the local thugs for murder, burglary, ADW, etc.

Those paper plates are red flags to get stopped in certain jurisdictions.....Jackson is not one of them.

11:15 It's interesting that you say that, because I've noticed the same thing over the last 6 or so months. The majority in Jackson are bad about either blowing through red lights or just using them like stop signs. I noticed it once, but now I see it nearly every time I take the chance of driving into Jackson. In fact, I suggested to my wife that she really be careful at intersections in the City. I used to tell her to be careful of those who may be fleeing law enforcement (I personally know two people who were killed in car accidents - in different incidents - by criminals fleeing the law), but now, it appears "normal citizens" are just as apt to disregard stop lights......as if breaking the law were ever really of concern to them anyway.

Watch out in Jackson. The horrible city is only getting worse by the day.

If the alleged perp gets caught will his insurance cover this?

It's safe to say they probably don't have insurance.

But I gotta add, it's not cheap to drive a vehicle in Mississippi.

The roads are shot to hell - front ends are shot to hell after so long, there's debris all over the place, so you constantly have to deal with nails in your tires, or rocks hitting your windshield.

Then the cost of car tags are ridiculous. I don't care if you live in Rankin or Madison County. You get a new vehicle, you are paying out the a** this first couple of years for a new car.

The next thing the legislature needs to work on, is finding a way to make it more cost-efficient for working Mississippians to get on the road at a cheaper rate

"Tag Applied For". Another insult to the intelligence of law enforcement, yet they cruise the streets. There is NO SUCH THING in this state as applying for a tag. Either you buy the sumbitch or you don't.

Like a water bill. Either you pay the sumbitch or you don't. Who cares?

Madison and Rankin are cheap compared to Hinds. $295 in Madison compared to $580 in Hinds. Washington County is even higher. Bolivar is high as well.

Most used (even new) car salesmen will tell you to just run the dealership paper plate for awhile and don't worry about it. Sales gimmick for those who want a nice ride but can't afford a tag.

everytimr i see a car with no tag, expired tag, or paper tag , they never seem to be headed in the direction of the local county tag office.

Some of those fine folk in Jacktown shouldn't be expected to pay the man for their tags when they need those Benjamins for the rental payments on their fine wheels for their hoopty.
