(Assuming this is NY) Worth noting that NY license plates had a defect that caused the paint to delaminate [1]. I am not surprised that people intentionally do it, but this delamination used to be extremely common. [1]: https://www.syracuse.com/news/2019/08/new-york-ends-contract...

This happened in West Virginia. But according to the newspapers, it was because the prison inmates were peeing in the license plate paint.

This was pre-public internet, so no link that I could find.

I suspect it gives cover for the ones that do it on purpose.
