Fixed... deny.
Never admit to a crime. You realize that you have constitutional protection against self-incrimination. I'm not promoting being disrespectful to the police by any means, they're just doing their job. Just as much as you don't want stress at your job, they don't want stress at theirs.
Don't say, "I plead the Fifth!". Just pay very, very close attention to the words these people use. "Do you know why I pulled you over?" is both an un-arming statment from the officer, AND a way to get you to admit to a crime for which he can then ticket you.
"Fifth Amendment
No person shall be held to answer for any capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb;
nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.
