He got pulled over by a law enforcer because he violated the law. Let's start with that. The law (in New Jersey, where the events unfolded) says a vehicle must display license plates front and rear with "up-to-date" inspection/registration stickers. Ice T's car lacked one of the plates and – apparently – his stickers were not "up-to-date." 

But are such "violations of the law" crimes?

Technically, they are merely "offenses" – as far as the law is concerned. But it amounts to the same thing in terms of being actionable. Meaning, an enforcer of the law can (legally) threaten murderous violence if the "offender" does not "pull over," i.e., if he does not submit to what amounts to an arrest since he is not free to go and if he were to go, then he would be pursued (hotly) by an armed law enforcer who would use force to stop him. Including the threatened use of a gun – enter the murderous violence – even in the case of someone who has victimized no one (once upon a time the necessary element defining criminal action).

No matter. Ice T is "pulled over" because he has affronted the authority of the state. That is the true crime – and the most serious one. If you doubt this to be so, consider what has happened to the "insurrectionists" – note the styling – who dared to question the authority of the state four years ago. Some of them are still in prison. None of them actually harmed anyone.

Armed robbers – rapists – routinely spend less time in prison. Ponder it. Also remember what was done by Abe Lincoln and his armies to the millions of people whose "crime" was seeking to disconnect themselves from the authority of the federal government and to form a government they consented to.

Lincoln – his effrontery was halting in its audacity – said at Gettysburg that the mass murder he and his minions performed was for the sake of assuring that "government of the people, by the people shall not perish."
