Fraudulent Temporary Tags have become a significant criminal activity that has been linked to drug and human trafficking, felony fraud, Vehicle Theft, Organized Crime, and even Capital Murder. This course will explain and discuss the multiple aspects of temporary tag enforcement, including countermeasures, detections, interview techniques, investigative procedures, and criminal charges. This course will go beyond simply identifying an eTAG, but will explore the reasons suspects alter eTAGs to help Deputies develop formidable investigative skills in establishing probable cause to investigate serious crimes associated with the tag.
