Ice-T got into a row with a police officer after he was pulled over during a traffic stop.
Newly-surfaced bodycam footage of the incident from last May shows the rapper and actor being pulled over for driving without a front license plate.

It later turned out that the gangsta rap pioneer did not possess a valid driving license either.
In a video of the traffic stop, Ice can be seen initially sitting calmly in his car until the police officer finds out that he has no license.

The Law & Order star attempts to explain that there were issues at the DMV the day before but things quickly intensify as the cop asks Ice to vacate his vehicle and hand over his keys.
After getting out of his car, the “6 in the Mornin'” MC approaches the officer and snaps: “Give me my paperwork, you fucking asshole! Give me my fucking paperwork. Get this on camera […] You are a fucking asshole.”

The cop responds by telling Ice not to touch him and claiming that he was the one that was acting like an “asshole.”
Ice-T then pulls out his phone and begins recording the officer, saying: “Let me start recording your dumb ass.”
After the officer called for backup, the tense situation ended with Ice-T receiving a number of tickets for the violations but was allowed to leave with his Porsche.
This was not the first time that Ice-T and his vehicles have run into issues with the law.
He was arrested in 2010 for driving without a license in New York, though it turned out to be a clerical error on the part of the DMV.
“Like I said from the gate, I never broke the law,” Ice-T told reporters outside of the courthouse at the time, according NBC New York. “I never had knowledge of any suspension. That’s why I got so angry when they put me in handcuffs.”

He also told the Wall Street Journal: “I knew I didn’t do anything wrong. You gotta have yourself a good lawyer in these types of things. Everybody heard I called the cop a punk bitch. The reason I did that was because he pretty much was a punk bitch.”
Ice later commented on social media: “Street credibility has nothing to do with going to jail, it has everything to do with staying out.”
