Ice-T's expletive-filled exchange with New Jersey cop is caught on bodycam footage during a traffic stop

Ice-T, known for his role on Law & Order: SVU, found himself in a situation that lacked the respect he often demands when he was pulled over during a traffic stop in New Jersey.

The actor, who recently revealed the secret to his successful 24-year marriage with wife Coco Austen, was captured on body-cam footage engaging in a heated argument with a police officer during an incident that occurred in May.

In the footage, which was shared by TMZ and the YouTube channel Unspoken Crime Murders, a deputy from the Hudson County Sheriff’s office stops the rapper and approaches his car. The deputy informs the 66-year-old celebrity that he was pulled over due to expired tags and a missing front license plate on his Porsche.

The Grammy winner explained he was on his way to the nearby DMV to get that all sorted. The actor went on to claim the car had remained ‘parked’ for the three years since the documentation expired. 

‘Yesterday, I went to the DMV and they said their system was down, so that’s where I’m headed,’ the actor said. ‘I’ve got seven cars, I’m trying to get them all straight.’ 

Asked if he had an appointment, the Colors rapper said he didn’t and that the workers at the DMV ‘know me.’ He also pointed out his driver’s license was expired as well. ‘That’s why I’m going to the DMV.’

‘Sir, you can not drive with an expired license and an expired registration,’ the officer told him. 

‘Why don’t you follow me to that garage right there. The DMV is right there. You don’t got to be that serious about this,’ Ice-T suggested. ‘I mean you can, but you don’t have to.’

The deputy tells him it is ‘serious’ as he continued to inspect the paperwork offered. 

‘I could park the car right here and walk to the DMV,’ Ice-T offered.

The deputy, then tells him: ‘I’m going to tow your vehicle.’

‘You’re not fixin’ to tow my f**king vehicle,’ the rapper retorted.  

The officer proceeded to tell the actor to give him his keys, which he did, and told Ice-T he was going to ‘tow your vehicle.’ 

When the actor once again suggested being able to park the car, the officer said, ‘you’re not going to tell me what to do. I’m going to tell you what to do. 

‘If I’m not under arrest then I’m getting out of my car,’ the NAACP Image Award winner said, before demanding his ‘f**king paperwork’ be returned.

The Law & Order: SVU actor was pulled over for driving his Porsche with expired tags and a missing front tag.  Ice-T explained he was going to the DMV to get that sorted and  that he had tried to take care of if the day before, but the DMV's system was down

The rapper suggested the officer follow him to the DMV or allow him to park his car and walk to the DMV to get the Porsche and six other cars registered. Instead, the officer said he was going to have the vehicle towed and told Ice-T to surrender his keys, which he did

‘This motherf**ker,’ the rapper said, staring into the body cam. ‘Get this on camera,’ Ice-T said. ‘Keep your distance the officer ordered,’ 

‘I am a foot away from the DMV’ the actor continued.

‘Keep your distance,’ the officer reiterated.

Ice-T complied, but as he walked away, he told the cop ‘you’re a f**king a**hole.’

‘I’m not an a**hole, you’ve been an a**hole to me,’ the deputy stated.

The rapper then began using his cell phone to record the interaction.

As he did so, the deputy called for backup and stayed in his vehicle until another officer quickly arrived on the scene. 

'If I'm not under arrest then I'm getting out of my car,' the NAACP Image Award winner said and walking around the car and demanding his 'f-ing paperwork' be returned. The officer returned to his vehicle and called for backup

Backup was called for and after a sergeant arrived on scene, the incident was settled. Ice-T received four tickets, including driving with a suspended license, but his car was not towed and he was allowed to walk to the DMV to get it and the others registered

The sergeant goes on to ask Ice-T what’s going on.

‘I’m trying to get to DMV to register my cars. I got all the paperwork and everything there. I asked the officer could I just go over here and or even park my car so that I could walk over there and get all my paperwork and he says he wants to tow my car.’

In the end, the Equal Standard actor was able to park his car and walk to the DMV and the officer, who pulled him over, issued him four tickets for driving with a suspended license, improper display, no inspection sticker and missing front plates.

The car was not towed, and the keys and paperwork were returned to the TV cop, who was allowed to walk to the DMV to sort the situation.
