FWIW many states are vigorously pursuing individuals who are licensing out of state to avoid paying in-state taxes. It's not the cop who stops you that determines anything, it will be the DMV or the state department in charge of tax fraud that does the chasing.
All you say is true, and you would be invited to prove all that you say is true in court. The simple matter is that, generally speaking, people who license their vehicle in one state and live in another do it to avoid taxes. From what I understand the state usually wins if an individual is taken to court in this instance. This has come up before many times.
FWIW I discussed this with the salesman when I bought my toyhauler out of state. He said that some people do the Montana LLC thing and get away with it and some get caught with a resultant very large fine and back taxes/interest. He said it just depended on the state and how determined they are to get your money.
