MANHATTAN — Ice-T used video networking site USTREAM Sunday night to give fans his perspective on his arrest in Hell's Kitchen and to confirm his ill feelings toward the police officer who arrested him.

The rapper and "Law & Order: SVU" star said that the police officer had pulled him over for no reason, and then upon seeing he was wearing no seat belt and appeared to have an “insurance lapse,” arrested and cuffed him.

"I ain’t breaking the law no more," Ice said in the video. "I had my day, but I don’t do that no more.

He said that the officer was in "punk b**ch mode" when he made the arrest — the same language the rapper-turned-actor used on his Twitter feed after Tuesday's incident.

Ice-T said that when the second cuff was slapped on him Tuesday, he "was going to go back to 1976 Crenshaw High School on him [the officer]," but his wife Coco restrained him.

The former rapper said that an investigation by his attorney revealed that in fact Ice-T's insurance was "up to par," and either the insurance company or DMV had made a mistake.

"Your boy might have a lawsuit against DMV or the insurance company, cuz I ain’t done sh** wrong," Ice-T said.
