Maybe that ticket you were refering to was a druink driving ticket that is
the only traffic ticket I know for sure they will take you into a little
room and collect money from you to enter. You see they take drunk driving
seriously over there. It is a felony the first time no matter what and the
"american dollars" they are collecting is for imigration status

So do you have a drunk driving on your record because that would explain
their hostilities?
