Some roof racks necessitate a flipped setup, especially if they have an arm that attaches to the downtube. You're right, though, that's one solution. I also had a bit more space there and could have widened the two racks to solve it.
I've been running hitch racks on cars for over three years now and no problems with cops here in NV or anywhere. I cross the border a lot and am occasionally asked to tell them my license plate, but they don't hassle me about it. So, for me, no problems experienced with that.
