Bodycam Footage Captures Heated Dispute Between Ice-T And New Jersey Police Officer

Bodycam footage surfaced on Friday (January 3) capturing a hostile interaction between Ice-T and a New Jersey police officer during a 2024 traffic stop. The musician/actor was pulled over next to the Hudson County Department of Motor Vehicles as he was on his way to register his car with the state. “I got seven cars, I’m trying to get them all straight,” a clearly agitated Ice-T explained to the cop. “You don’t gotta be that serious about this.” The officer felt disrespected by the rap legend, and threatened to take his keys away and have the vehicle towed. Ice-T demanded his paperwork back from the cop so he could walk to the DMV and register his automobile. The officer ended up giving Ice-T four tickets for his license and registration expiration, missing license plates, and lack of inspection. “Next time, just show some respect,” the officer stated, causing Ice-T to angrily respond, “I don’t have to.” (Billboard)
