Rapper to Cops: I'm Bulletproof, Sucka!

TreachRapper Treach from Naughty By Nature was given a ticket for driving with a suspended license after he was pulled over for driving the wrong way down a one-way street ... all the while wearing a bulletproof vest.

Treach was busted yesterday in Newark, NJ. after police were called to the area because of a report of shots fired. Treach was pulled over in "the immediate area of the shooting incident" but Newark PD tells TMZ they have no suspect (or even a victim) and that Treach is only "a potential witness at this time."

TMZ fun fact -- it is not a crime to wear a bulletproof vest in New Jersey, unless it is worn during illegal activity. The more you know ...

18. ha ha didn't he do some porno's way back, isn't he also Pepa from salt and pepa's baby dad??? lol FYI interesting fact Bulleproof vests are great for protection if someone is aiming at your torso, I never understood how you would feel protected in one of those? I mean if I was a thug who liked to shoot people I would aim for the head, just saying...(In no way do I condone murder or guns ) but come on

22. If you don't know who Treach is I guess you lived in a cave through the 90s.

As far as wearing a bullet proof vest, of course it should be legal. Self-defense is an inalienable right. Why would wearing protection be illegal? With all the cops that go around murdering people ( combined with the assorted thugs you are likely to encounter in that area) it's a smart choice.

26. I live in Newark and the comment "You guys must not know of Newark. It is a dangerous place for everyone. Most people that live in newark are thugs. You do not dare to go there after dark." It is not as dangerous as you make it seem there are nice areas in Newark and where I live I do feel pretty safe..and most people are not thugs idk what you saw but there are alot of people in Newark that are trying to better themselves...it is unfortunate that you hear that bad things that go on in the city...but in NY you hear the same stories and I am pretty sure that it doesn't stop you from going into the city at night.
