Hi Mike, I took a number of copies of a Fiche containing passport and driving license details etc. when asked for passport or driving license I would hand over a fiche this also saves the honest police/guard from having to copy out your details to enter into a book.
And stops the dishonest from holding on to your documents while asking for Un Cadeau.. I also had colour copies of my driving license when they were insistent on the "real" thing.
Only time I had an issue was on the Mauritainia border with a border guard that was insistent on a gift, I said OK and offered my hand and said i offer my friendship.. he looked pissed and walked off.
The wife got caught speeding in Morocco but gladly paid the "without book" fine.
Keep a happy face and laugh/smile it's really just a game.
Bonne Route
