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.
Look to all the European fuckery that set up many of these conflicts in the Middle East and Africa.
The UK, France, Belgium, etc. all have extremely bloody pasts around the world.
