I'm in Nebraska, and haven't a clue about Alabama law, but I think like others said it's up to the discretion of the individual law officer.
I once had a Nebraska scale officer ticket me for hauling a stock car on a trailer with a pickup with farm plates. The law considers a stock car to be a revenue producing piece of equipment, and to tow in on a public road the tow vehicle needs to have commercial plates.
Couple of weeks later, I mentioned it to a Nebraska State Trooper I knew and he replied, "That's the law, no getting around it. I personally think a verbal warning is appropriate the first time".

I could then see it was a "County Mountie". Was he riding in my shadow, hitting oncoming traffic with radar, figuring oncoming traffic wouldn't spot him behind the car on the trailer? Whatever he was up to, it apparently didn't include hassling me for an expired plate on my trailer.
