I thought about that.  Would the police take traveler's checks?.

Depends on where you are I imagine. I do know that in Phoenix a normal
speeding citation requires only a signature, no matter where you're from...

of course it's not just traffic tickets that can cause one to really
need money.

I always carry cash just in case the cards didn't work. More than once
it's saved me when a store's system was down and they only took cash...
