Atlanta, Georgia (CNN) -- Former NBA star Allen Iverson launched an expletive-ridden tirade against police when a car belonging to him was pulled over for a traffic violation last week, at one point telling the officer, "Take the vehicle, I have 10 more," according to a police report.
Iverson, 35, was a passenger in a grey Lamborghini, spied by an Atlanta officer changing lanes without signaling about 6 p.m. on March 30, according to the police report obtained by CNN.
The driver, identified in the report as Antwuan Clisby, couldn't produce any documentation for the vehicle, the report said. He then told the officer his passenger needed to leave the vehicle to eat dinner, and the officer said no one was leaving until the investigation was complete.
With that, Iverson became "irate," according to the police report, saying, "I'm the (expletive) passenger." The officer radioed for backup, and a second unit arrived, according to the report. Clisby and Iverson were asked to exit the vehicle, while Iverson continued to curse at the officer, the report said.

Allan Iverson has violated his right to be civil.
In California you have to follow so many regulations that we are having to sell everything to multinationals from outside the country. We aren't even a state anymore. We are a f*ing garage sale.
To which Iverson replied, "Practice? Practice?"
seriously? they pulled him over for not signaling?
sounds like union thugs wanted to hassle a capitalist driving around in a nice car.
This wasn't a random stop. This was a routine traffic stop on a vehicle that didn't have any plates.
Allen Iverson apparently wanted to be treated differently than everyone else because he was rich, famous and an entitled athlete.
Guilty! Of bad taste.
Harrassing folks for the infraction of not signaling a lane change: Police State!
"Don't you know who I am?": A$$hat!
Yep, it’s sad but true.
The best teachers were the ones who treated the athletes the same as the non-athletes.
But, in many schools, the teachers and professors are pressured to let the athletes slide on through.
That is just sad. Some people have no financial planning skills whatsoever.
Not myself! I have not payed any attention to the TCBEMS nba since the GREAT Jerry West Ret. in late ‘74.
I know the law fine, and it was created by a bunch of facists who are looking for any way to erode our right.
I'll take the constitution over some bootlicking law.
Some sports have been ruined by a handful of inner city thugs.
America has not fully realized how so few can ruin so much.
For many they become drunk with money...
"No, but let me guess. Some punk with more money than brains?"
