Ice-T was asked to cool down on Tuesday after the police arrested him in New York City.

The "Law & Order: SVU" star was pulled over at 9 a.m. on Tuesday for driving without a seatbelt. Ice-T claims that he and his wife Coco were taking their dog to the vet at the time. The pair was stopped at the corner of West 40th St. and 11th Ave. near the Lincoln Tunnel.

Upon further investigation, the police discovered that Ice-T's 2009 Cadillac Sedan had a lapsed insurance policy. The rapper-actor was arrested for two insurance-related lapses and was charged at the 10th Precinct in Chelsea.

According to NY Daily News police sources, Ice-T, whose real name is Tracy Morrow, immediately became angry.

"He got nasty right away, saying, 'What the f--k, why are you guys picking on me?'" the police source told NY Daily News.

Ice-T just could not believe that he was being pulled over.

"Why are you guys stopping me for bulls--t?" he asked according to the police sources.

Like most disgruntled celebrities, Ice-T took to Twitter to express his anger at his misfortune.

"Some punk bitch rookie cop named Fisher #10026 made the arrest of his bulls--t career today arresting the Notorious Ice T for no seatbelt," Ice-T wrote on his Twitter account.

The police officer who arrested Ice-T, however, claimed not to recognize the rapper turned actor.

"He said 'I know who you are and I don't give a f--k!'" Ice-T said via Twitter. "That was right after I called him a punk bitch."

According to NY Daily News, Ice-T was upset that his arrest become a national headline just minutes after it happened. The newspaper also reported that Ice-T claimed to be released after less than 30 minutes.

A spokesman for New Jersey's Department of Motor Vehicles said that Ice-T was driving with a valid license.

During his career, Ice-T has shown mixed feelings towards police authority. In 1992, he released his hit "Cop Killer," which was about the joy one could have while murdering police officers. On the other hand, Ice-T joined the cast of "Law & Order" in 2000, which he plays a NYPD detective.

He might leaning toward a more negative view on police after Tuesday's arrest.
