FERGUSON, Mo. - The Ferguson Police Department will soon roll out an enforcement plan intended to crack down on drivers using expired temp tags around city streets. Ferguson Police Chief Troy Doyle calls the effort "Temp Tag Tuesday." He says the department will make expired temp tags its focus on Tuesdays moving forward.
