ISN'T IT IRONIC! ICE T PLAYS A NYPD COP IN LAW & ORDER & THE REAL NYPD BUST HIS CHOPS!

Ice-T is still heated about his recent arrest.
The "Law & Order: SVU" star aired his anger in a Ustream video message to his fans Sunday night, saying that he now has a chance for fans to "hear my side of the story."

"I got respect for cops when they get respect for me," he said in the video.

The famed rapper, 52, was arrested in Manhattan last week for driving with expired auto insurance. After cops pulled over his 2009 Cadillac sedan at W. 40th St. and 11th Ave. for not wearing a seat belt, they learned that his insurance had lapsed, police said.

According to police sources, the rapper began arguing with the cop.

"If you disrespect me, why can't I disrespect you?" Ice-T said in the video, adding that the arresting officer "really stopped me for nothing."

The rapper, whose real name is Tracy Morrow, admitted that the cop could have given him a ticket for having tinted windows, instead of for not wearing a seat belt.

After checking the rapper’s driver’s license, the cop "finds this little blip on the radar."

"That doesn’t mean my license was suspended because I have no New York license," Ice-T explained in the video. "It means my driver’s privileges were suspended in New York for the last two years."

"By his rules, he can arrest me," he said of the incident. He added, however, that the cop didn’t need to go into "punk bitch mode."

After the rapper got out of his car to be handcuffed, he said he noticed another officer nearby watching the scenario and rolling his eyes.

"As far as the cop, he didn't do anything wrong, but he shouldn't have been such an a--hole," he said. "Wait until you find a body in my trunk [to arrest me]."

In the hours after the arrest, Ice-T lashed out on Twitter against the cops who collared him.

"Some punk b---h rookie cop made the arrest of his bulls--t career today arresting the Notorious Ice-T for no seatbelt," the rapper wrote. "He said, 'I know who you are and I don't give a f--k!' "

The rapper, who also complained that the arrest made national news within minutes, said he was released from the precinct stationhouse in less than 30 minutes.

His license was valid, according to a spokesman for New Jersey's Department of Motor Vehicles.

Ice-T's biggest hit was the incendiary 1992 song "Cop Killer," which glamorized murdering police officers.

He joined the "Law & Order" cast -- in which he plays a NYPD detective -- in 2000.
