Right, am sure the same police detail that stopped me stopped you.
. A copy of the rules could deter a policeman or an officer from trying to extract a few hundred rupees from you, but it does not guarantee success.
Now, FTers are supposed to carry a copy of rules for lounge use that show that they are allowed entry into the lounge, TSA rules about what they are allowed to take trough the checkpoint, and now, rules for DL.
It really depends on the officer you are dealing with. I have taken pictures at the Rashtrapati Bhavan with one of the guards identifiably visible.
If you are visibly foreign looking, some will go out of their way to help you while some will treat you as a windfall.
