The NWA pilots that were caught were idiots. They claimed a small cabin in the woods as their primary residence while their paper trail (DL, car registration, kids in school) was elsewhere.
There is a right and wrong way to be a resident of a state. Owning property (even a small house or townhome), keeping your cars registered there, your mail going there, and your DL there is the way to do it.
If you have kids, it's kinda hard as where ever they go to school you're stuck. Also if your spouse works (unless from home) you're also stuck.
