What does it mean if someone says their car got tagged?
It really depends on both your area and the context. Slang is always different from area to area until it becomes mainstream. Some of the other answers could certainly be correct, but another possibility is that a gang "tagger" put a special graffiti symbol called a "tag" on their car. These symbols are effectively the logo of the gang and identify the gang. This is usually done with spray paint. I don't know what the symbolism is on a car, but on stationary objects it generally means simply that they are marking their territory. On a car it could mean the same thing, or it could mean something personal about the car's owner, or frankly it could mean nothing, as taggers aren't always very discriminating about where they put their graffiti.
Reply:That will vary from environment to environment. It can be they put new license plates on it, or that it was flagged by the police or that the driver got a ticket.
Reply:when a car is abandoned on a highway the county or state cops put a red sticker on it that means if its not moved in a certain amount of time then it will be towed away at the owner's expenses

Reply:tagging is used by police to implant a small hidden microchip on your car so it can be traced via gps and given tickets for any infractions of the law since it will be networked and compatible with all hidden traffic survey cameras in your area-- are you a criminal ? you can expect to recieve 3-4 tickets a week for various infractions.
