I can vouch for this from experience in the police, it's seriously not worth even trying. Nobody likes to be shown up and the police will not tolerate it.

On the other hand, if you treat a police officer with due respect, stay level-headed, calm, and understanding, they usually will not bother with fining you for such minor infractions. I have personally gotten away from paying a few fines where I would not have me let get off the hook that easily myself. ;D
Just keep in mind that the police tends to be right about what they're saying, are not out to get you, and are paid really badly for all the stuff they have to put up with during their daily job. A smile always helps instead of being a smart-ass.
That being said, stick to the little green men showing you where to cross the road, or keep a fiver with you at all times. :P

Reawakes an old thought "Shall have a Fursuiter a legal ID with him when he is far outside of the Con ?"
I like todo, but its got me just as an interesting question how this is handled in general.

Legally, you are not required to carry an ID with you at any time. It can make things a lot easier if you do, though. Because the police has the right to determine your identity at any time, and if you have an ID ready just in case, that'll speed things up considerably.
