Had a similar circumstance in the more remote places of OZ.
Landed adjacent to the town to check on the fuel supplier. He told me it wasn't such a good idea as the local constabulary was not real keen on this sort of thing.
Relocated to the airport. 5 kms away. Local copper turns up. Have conversation over the fence. He is waiting for me to step out of the airport. I knew as well as he did that the airport is Federal and he was a State copper. Kind of let him know that.
I was in no hurry so just waited until he went away. Little nap under a tree til the re-fueler turned up then moved on.
