I had to pay over 1k to get the car out of the pound, but when I went to court I only had to pay a $10 fee for a processing fee after I showed proof of insurance...
That incident made me EXTREMEMLY paranoid of cops, everytime I see one in my rearview mirror I feel like I have a heart attack even though I didn't do anything illegal, and I will even drive out of the way to avoid the cop. I am so paranoid, I call the DMV every week now to make sure my license is still valid. Sometimes I don't even like to drive because cops make me paranoid.
And one time when I was driving to get some food, I could swear there was a cop following me! When I turned into Taco Bell, he turned into the shopping plaza after me and kept looking at me. I didn't do anything wrong at all! I don't know if he thought my car was suspicious or what, he never pulled me over, but I know he followed me and it creeped me out and traumatized me.

i never knew this perception existed until the OJ trial in LA and you saw all the distrust and suspicion about the cops in certain parts of the city and how they were certain they were being unfairly targetted...It was an eye-opener for me.
