Sometimes, yes, but some groups of people just run with temporary tags for a very long time and roll the dice.

There are groups on Facebook Marketplace selling fakes. They used to have those Texas dealer plates but I believe the Texas authorities finally stopped procrastinating on doing something about that.

It used to be easy to search for terms like “tires” and find what were clearly counterfeiting rings.
