Ice-T may demand respect for the badge on Law & Order: SVU, but he did not show much for it after he was pulled over in New Jersey on a traffic stop. The actor, who recently shared his secret to his 24-year-marriage with wife Coco Austen, was caught on camera having a heated disagreement with a cop on body-cam video from an incident in May.

On the tape, shared by TMZ and the YouTube channel Unspoken Crime Murders, a Hudson County Sheriff's deputy has pulled the rapper over and approached the car. He tells the 66-year-old star he has been pulled over for having expired tags and missing a 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.'. Ice-T was caught on camera having an angry verbal interaction with a cop in New Jersey during a traffic stop in May 2024.
![['This motherf-er,' the rapper said, staring into the body cam. 'Get this on camera,' Ice-T said. 'Keep your distance' the officer ordered. Ice-T walked away, telling the cop 'you're a F-ing a**hole']](https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2025/01/04/17/93737003-14250047-image-a-12_1736011530997.jpg)
'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.'.
