It's amazing what a little paint can do — but when a license plate is your canvas, it becomes DIY registration fraud.

Law enforcement discovered the vehicle's rear license plate had an orange rectangle painted in the top right hand corner to match this year's registration sticker color, with the year 2023 painted inside the box.
