I don't know the difinitive answer but suspect it will have a lot to do with visibility and your local police. Assuming that you have an FM3 and a Mexican driver's license, it would be easier to convince an officer that you are residing in Mexico and visiting the USA. However, that might not fly with your local policeman, who might see you and your Mexican plated car frequently. He might be aware of your residency in the USA and, using just your name, be able to obtain all of your pertinent information. I'm sure the details exist somewhere; maybe Google can help.
