      Yeah what’s up with cops doing that? So much for protecting and SERVING the public.

      Really more of a privileged little brotherhood than anything. I bet when they look at the general public all they see is them & us.

      Seriously. What I have seen in literally every one of these body cam recordings is the second the supervisor or backup arrives on scene, they immediately lie through their teeth about what happened.

      If that cop had done exactly what he told the next cop he would do, this would have been a non-issue. He could have given him a ticket for each thing and made him park and walk to the DMV, and Ice-T would have parked, got his stuff in order, and paid the ticket. He only got upset once the cop said he was going to two the car, which I understand. The likelihood of his car getting damaged (not to mention the additional hassle of getting it out of impound) would have been very frustrating.

    “Right now my job is eating these donuts.”

    How far he has fallen since his Body Count/Faith No More days.

    What an idiot officer and a cool sheriff. Writing 4 tickets out of spite to someone, who was voluntarily already trying to fix their mistakes.

      He had the car parked up because the registration expired. wtf is he doing driving before he fixed that? No way that dude had the car parked up for 3 years and owns no other cars.

        He said he owns 7 cars. Who knows why he didn’t use a different car to do this.

        Edit. Also, at the end the cop says he was going to let him park the car with no tickets served. He was absolutely not going to do that at the time. He wanted to tow the car.

          I have a hard time believing the story Ice-T has.

          His licence, and insurances had been expired for years, and just now, this one time he was going to get it renewed he got pulled over? This sounds exactly like a ready made lie that has been used and reused over the years.

          If I was the cop, I’d probably be pissed off that I’d been lied to with such an obvious BS story.

          Then Ice-T gets out of the car, demands his papers back and approaches the cop? I live in Canada, and I know you don’t get out of the car during a traffic stop unless you’re invited to.

          Yeah, no surprise the cop lied. He said he was going to tow the vehicle BEFORE he was called an asshole and before Ice-T got out of the car.

          Fuck that cop for needlessly escalating. “This is serious”… bullshit. It’s expired paperwork, not a suspended license for a DUI or something like that.
