Actually, it could be. That could be considered vandalism (you're intentionally making unauthorized modifications to equipment to prevent it from working as expected) which is illegal.

But this is New York, so who knows if they would even enforce that.

They can just plug it back in. It'll be ok.

Oh, I guess if you can just plug it back in, that just invalidates the downtime that was caused or data being lost.

Being able to undo vandalism doesn't make it suddenly not vandalism.

It’s not vandalism. Vandalism is destruction of property (physically destroying it). Unplugging something that was designed to be unplugged is absolutely not vandalism.
