People were stealing plates with the stickers on them, or razoring the stickers off (because some people wouldn't remove the old stickers and just put the new ones on, layering them)... the reg stickers have your plate number on 'em... have to match the plates to be legal. So, if someone gets their plates jacked, and uses the stolen plates and gets pulled over, the officer knows the plates are stolen when they don't match with the reg sticker.
