I carry good color copies of all my documents and a color doublesided laminated copy of my Drivers License. Not because I want to hand them to the police when I need to, but in case I should lose the original, I will at least have something to show. (I also have pics of all documents on my phone, and in the Cloud.)
The strategy of playing dumb (not too dumb, more like language barrier), and being patient and stating the truth has always worked for me.
It goes without saying, I hope, that if you're guilty of what they are saying: speeding, wrong way down a one way street, importing cash, using the black market, etc- you own up to it, show respect and pay your fine, as you would in your home country. At least, that's what I do.
