They are "State Property" and welding them could be considered destroying state property.
I found this out on time when I was younger. I had a tailer with a seamless gutter machine on it that I left parked in my apartment complex overnight on a regular basis. After the third or fourth tag I had to replace I got the bright idea to weld it to the bracket. WORKED GREAT....until I was informed by a Trooper (pulled over for speeding...oops) that I could not alter the plate in any way....which included welding the edges. "That's why we put those nifty little holes in them" he said.

At this point... I'd make a frame out of a couple of #4 double long spring Victors.
Any trappers here will know what I mean.
