It just means you are in touch with reality.
The cops have adopted a strategy that it is better to be feared than respected. Tough on crime is the motto. So they present themselves as tough. Public announcements often are threats. TV ads to curb crime show handcuffs being slapped on wrist, jail doors slamming behind people as they enter cells with hard faced murderers, etc....
They want to scare people out of crime...they succeeded...you are scared.
That plus the possiblity that you might encounter a dirty cop.
