Many will not register their cars anymore which is lost tax revenue to maintain roads. No more toll money for those driving with no plates.
If a cop pulls a car over with no plates for some other reason, can't call in a plate to see if it's stolen or perhaps there is a dangerous wanted felon driving it.
