As an attorney I have very technical legal advice for a situation like this: just be cool. You're not doing anything illegal, so don't act like you might be. A lot of states have a requirement that you produce ID on demand - so go ahead and show them your ID. Most cops are going to have very little to zero experience with aviation matters, and, ironically, they are probably mostly worried about getting into trouble themselves by not handling the situation correctly. They might want to keep you at the scene until they can get a supervisor on the phone. Be cool, hang out, make friends.

Of course, you might get a cop who is freaked out for some reason. You are not going to win an argument or a fight with a cop. Please don't try. If you find yourself getting arrested, again, try to be cool about it. They will be really sorry later when they find out you didn't do anything wrong and you are suing the department.
