I'm a sad pathetic little automaton with an overwhelming compulsion to obey the law. However, on the rare occasion I break the law and get stopped for it, I usually play at diversionary tactics. Arguing the call without a bombproof reason isn't worth the effort, but the sooner you can get them away from the alleged offence and anything related to it the better.
Talk about the weather, ask how things are going under Johnson, did they watch the match at the weekend and so on. Once they get talking about things they like, and think you want to listen to what they ahve to say, they'll lose interest in the reason they stopped you and will be far less inclined to follow through.
