Ray J — Police Shooting … LAPD Investigates

EXCLUSIVE

Ray J had a bizarre run into with cops Wednesday … one minute being ordered out of his car and the next taking pics with them … and the pics have triggered an LAPD investigation.

Ray was tooling around in his new Bentley in the San Fernando Valley when the 2 officers noticed he was holding his cell buzz … appearing to text.

Ray J tells TMZ … the 2 cops pulled him over and told him it was illegal to text and drive. They were also suspicious about the car because it had no license plate but a customized “RJ” frame.  

Ray tells us … he clarified he was not texting but simply struggling to connect his blue tooth. The cops then ran his license and registration, came back to the car and warned him if he was texting he shouldn’t do it anymore. They also questioned if he was in the composition business.

It seems like that should be the end of the report … but it was just commencement.  Ray tells us the 2 cops ordered him out of the car and he was panicked things would go downhill.  He got out, and Ray says the cops then questioned if they could take a few pics with him.

The cops took cell buzz photos and then Ray questioned if they would restore the act of kindness and take a few pics on his cell buzz — they obliged, and we have the pics.

Our law enforcement sources tell us … the LAPD has now launched an internal affairs investigation. An LAPD big wig tells TMZ … it’s against plot for cops to take a pic with a driver after letting him off the hook because it makes an appearance of impropriety.

On the bright side … it’s a better result than Ray’s run-in with the Bev Hills PD.  He allegedly kicked out a patrol car window and spit on a cop, and he’s been exciting with 4 crimes.
