Denver police to enforce expired license plates throughout November

Starting Friday, the Denver Police Department plans to conduct a month-long enforcement campaign to, once again, enforce expired license plate tags throughout the city.

It is the second such enforcement campaign Denver police have conducted within the past few months, including one in July. This despite city ordinance keeping Denver authorities from making traffic stops just based on expired license tags.

For November’s month-long enforcement period, DPD officials in a news release said it is in response to residential feedback over expired license tags.

The enforcement period “provides DPD officers the opportunity to address and take action on the community’s vocalized frustrations over drivers with expired license plate tags and expired temporary plates,” police officials said in a statement.

Getting pulled over in Denver for expired license plates comes with a $95 fine.

During the previous enforcement period in the final week of September, police pulled over hundreds of drivers. In that time, police cited 339 drivers for expired or fictitious license plates, according to DPD.
