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, because i know they will suspend your license if you pay your insurance bill late (which I do often) 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.

Wow you sound paranoid, but I'm practically the same way now. After getting a fucking ticket in a speed trap where I was clearly going the speed limit, I do not trust cops at all. Most of the time I get pulled over for bullshit like having a tail-light out... It's always something with these cops... It's like hey the guy has spiffy tires or his windows are tinted or seat-belt is not fastened or who knows maybe I didn't shave my beard and I look suspicious... Probably some cops are ok -- but the majority of them have a chip in their shoulder as they can't help but attribute self-importance to themselves in order to pretend like their job is to be respected... The need to give these Police officers some kind of ethics class -- so they understand their function in society... A police car is specifically designed to intimidate -- you don't see cops driving around pink cars -- well damnit they should...
When I can afford my own full time lawyer I will drive around town on the most god awful hydrolics and harrass every fucking cop in my town until I own every one of them... Then I'll buy them little pink ballerina outfits for Christmas.
