Does anyone know if it is ok to copy the tags if you already have one?
I would hope the only time it would be challenged due diligence on the officer's part would prove it's valid especially if it was explained a previous theft of tag prompted the use of a copy. It doesn't hurt to ask law enforcement for the true answer. My belief is that most police officers still use a common sense approach to situations.
