I disagree. Why exactly should someone willing to pay $2500 for membership in a cop club get to avoid being pulled over and get out of tickets, while everyone else has to pay? That's corrupt, and buying fakes is a just reaction to that corruption because it dilutes the effectiveness of the real thing.
The most honorable thing would be for all of us to get fakes so that the people who think they're buying their way out of tickets just waste their money and the corrupt organization that sells those frames gets nothing.

That's not the same thing at all. Claiming recognition for honorable military service is nothing like claiming membership in a corrupt organization for the purpose of flouting the law. Last I checked the armed services didn't sell license plate frames with a wink and a nod that you wouldn't get tickets if you buy one.
