Getting caught in China

I’ve been in Xinjiang for 3 months now and finally had a run-in with the police. In the end the let me go with just a warning that journalists need permits and that I shouldn’t stay in cheap hotels. But I assume that I now have a record and that the next time they won’t be as forgiving.

If I do get caught with my camera asking compromising questions again what is the best course of action?

Does anyone have experience with this?

Is anyone actually registered as a journalist in China?
