Rapper Ice-T was involved in a heated traffic stop with a New Jersey police officer in May. The incident, captured on bodycam footage, showed the “Cop Killer” artist being stopped near the Department of Motor Vehicles while allegedly driving without proper registration.
Ice-T became agitated and disputed the officer’s tone, saying he didn’t have to be so serious about the situation. However, the officer was unfazed and threatened to take his keys and tow his vehicle if he didn’t cooperate. The rapper stood firm and demanded his paperwork, leading to a tense standoff with the officer.
A sergeant intervened, and the officers ultimately gave Ice-T four tickets for expired license plates, missing registration, and lack of inspection. Despite the issues, the car was not towed, and Ice-T was allowed to keep his keys and update the vehicle’s records. The incident highlights the importance of respecting law enforcement and following traffic regulations.
