"This criminal phenomenon is a byproduct of COVID-19 when the Department of Motor Vehicles was shut down and provided limited services and criminals taking advantage and producing fake fraudulent paper plates in return for finances," he said at Mayor Bill de Blasio’s daily press conference. He said vehicles with such plates have been linked to hit-and-runs, speeding through school zones and various quality-of-life concerns. There have been 562 crashes involving vehicles with fake plates where 293 injuries occurred, Harrison said.
