|| By FITSNEWS || Did you know former members of the S.C. General Assembly were eligible for special license plates?

They’re called “Former Legislator” tags, and they can be applied for at the S.C. Department of Motor Vehicles (SCDMV) – an agency which leads the nation in doling out specialty plates.

No seriously … there’s an application these ex-legislators can fill out (.pdf here).

Why would anyone want one of these plates?  That’s a good question.

Based on the Palmetto State’s chronically abysmal economic standing, these plates ought to be the equivalent of “kick me” signs.  Or “rear-end me” invitations.

Wait … that doesn’t sound right …

Anyway, former S.C. ways and means chairman Dan Cooper used to call these “former legislator” plates by another name: “F*cking Loser” tags.  And yes … that may be the only redeeming thing Cooper ever said.

Oh well .. if you see one of these tags (or one of the current “Legislator” license plates), be sure to tell them “thanks for nothing.”

Well, nothing but a bigger burden …

Isn’t there a SINGLE member of the SC legislature willing take the floor and propose a bill to get rid of ALL special tags for legislators, judges and members of boards and commissions????? Did I leave out any group that wants special treatment?

Do they think WE don’t realize what these plates really say is: Hands off!! I’m special and very well connected!!!

We are the fucking serfs.

It Would Happen Anyways September 30, 2015 at 11:02 am

Let’s be honest, without the plates they would just get the tickets/charges dropped anyways, this just gives the officer a heads up so they don’t get chewed out for hassling the untouchables.

“Why would anyone want one of these plates? That’s a good question.”

Not only am I fairly certain it probably helps them getting out of the occasional traffic infraction, does anyone know if this impact how much they have to pay in taxes with a plate like this versus us peons with normal plates?

I’ll bet there’s a good chance they get some kind of break on car taxes….

I doubt they get an official break but I bet they get a low assessment.

We need to get rid of all the special plates. This is ridiculous. Get a vanity plate and put the letters and numbers on it yourself.

In these days and times, only a narcissistic dumbass would want a legislative plate on their automobile. They make their cars and trucks targets at the hands of 100s of thousands of angry South Carolina tax payers.

It is quite sad to see how hard a former legislator will cling to the fleeting wisp of glory known as his legislative career. The thought of not having the title to cling to is more than they can handle, which shows there was little to them in the first place.

Actually, the title is for life.

These tags and the current ones are great because it really assist law enforcement when stopping them so they don’t have to hear the same horseshit “do you know who i am” before asking for thier driver’s license.
