A Dearborn, Michigan police officer is under fire for issuing a ticket to a woman who revealed she was HIV positive during a traffic stop.
The incident which occurred in August 2012 was recorded by the officer’s dash cam.
Shalandra Jones, 43, said she revealed her HIV status to Officer David Lacey when he told her and driver Mark Scott that he smelled marijuana in their vehicle.
Lacey told Jones her HIV status “might be something you want to tell a cop if they pull you out of a car.”
Lacey can be heard on the dash cam video telling Jones, “You just made me mad.”
He then wrote her a ticket for possession of medical marijuana but the ticket was later thrown out.
Lacey defended his actions, saying “I’ve been going through her purse and she’s got earrings and sh*t I’m touching, and I don’t want to catch anything.”
Jones is unapologetic about revealing her HIV status — which she isn’t required to do in that situation.
“This will hopefully change how police all over the world treat people with HIV,” she told the NY Daily News on Tuesday.
“I was actually shocked,” Jones told The News. “I would have never expected that kind of behavior from a police officer.”
Thanks to loyal reader Marcella B. for the tip.

How about they treat everyone with the respect they desire.
“I was actually shocked,” Jones told The News. “I would have never expected that kind of behavior from a police officer.”
REALLLLLL, BIH?! She must feign surprise before her lawsuit I guess :/
An earring is what pissed him off? First off sir, if you are doing any kind of search you are suppose to wear gloves anyway!
“I was actually shocked,” Jones told The News. “I would have never expected that kind of behavior from a police officer.”

*in my NeNe voice* Where this bish live at?!?!?!?
It’s azzhole cops all over this country. Fugg em.
So did she tell him after he went through her pocket book? I’m confused
Well she told him, when she didn’t have to.
He should have appreciated that & worn gloves…..
I’m not really understanding what the cop did wrong here. I would want to know if I’m doing a search and I get stuck with a sharp object I don’t know what goes on in people’s lives
true indeed, she must have just moved from up under that rock that she has been under
So I got the free trial for the Amazon Prime to see if I want to purchase it Friday…so far…so-so
I’m confused so ppl who are HIV positive can legally smoke Mary Jane?
So this dumb ass thought he could catch HIV from an ear ring? He needs to go back to school, bc some where along the lines he failed.
Damn ya gotta reveal all that now .. for a traffic stop
Wait until she finds out grass is green & water is wet. ?
Bish may faint dead! ?
She prolly a “blame everyone else, but the police officer involved” type of person. Chick’s tune changed quick as hell now that she experienced it for herself.
Lacey defended his actions, saying “I’ve been going through her purse and she’s got earrings and sh*t I’m touching, and I don’t want to catch anything.”
^^^^ Really ????
I bet his azz won’t run and stick his hands in no one else’s purse again.
Which is more than likely why his dumb azz became a cop
Exactly like wtf
Thankfully he didn’t shoot and kill her.
chile
Jones is unapologetic about revealing her HIV status — which she isn’t required to do in that situation………
Ummm, I asked you a question woman…
Lacey defended his actions, saying “I’ve been going through her purse and she’s got earrings and sh*t I’m touching, and I don’t want to catch anything”…………..
Is there a time limit for how long they keep dash cam videos?
I gave you an answer love … check your replies bawhahahha
Empire nite!!!!!!!
Right ! What does HIV have to do with it? This man is a civil servant , and should know how to treat people , and shouldn’t be so ignorant when it comes to HIV. As a officer of the law , I’m sure before he puts his hand into a purse to check it, he asked if there was anything in there that could poke or stick him.
I can’t wait !!!!!
Marijuana is a medical drug hun… The legal question pertains to whether they can ride around smoking it… many places will not allow you to consume it while operating a motor vehicle…I wonder if they are allowed to smoke it as a passenger.
My bad, refreshing works wonders..LMAO
She didn’t have to tell him but she must live under a rock not to know how some of them are.
Totally off topic..but I need some help…question: how do you win with a relationship with a mom’s boy?? I have tried..Lawd knows..but I can’t seem to win when it comes to me or his mom..relationship 4 years and I’m fed up…help…
bawhahahah I know … a whole new world lol
we need details…do you and mom get along? When you call him mommas boy is it excessive? What type of things does he/ his mom do that bother you?
Tell him that you love that he respects and honors his mother but he needs to grow up and remember who sucks his dyck.
if his mother doesn’t like ya that’ a good start…. lol can’t help ya hun .. but best of luck with that
Basically..
Is he an only child? Where’s his daddy? Do y’all live in the same city as his mother?
chile
IMO…you don’t win with a momma’s boy…you’ve been trying for 4 years, it’s up to you on if you’re willing to try another 4..
Stop trying and eventually he will warm up to you if you don’t pull no ho $hit in the future but think about it why would you wanna be cool with a man that’s smashing your moms. You gotta show and prove make his mama a honest woman.
I’m so confused…did I read her post wrong??
No you didn’t ?
No, YOU didn’t.
Been there..did that
I was with a momma’s boy. And I mean boy. He would go from boys to men when his mother was around. No longer with him. She was always his fall guy when shi-t hit the fan. Yo momma don’t need to know everything. Put her name on a bill then.
Tell him to get off his mom’s teet. The breast milk should’ve been dried up years ago.
Girl, I’m reading that like WTF…#lost
I have no idea how @lil@lilgoodie:disqus post got misinterpreted like that…
What ever she wants she gets..me.I have to wait cause he ain’t got it..but we all get along really well (so I think)
So she’s just always in his pockets??
It’s like I can’t win no matter whAt I say
You get “along” because he’s doing as his mother wants…wait until he says he ain’t got it for her after he done got something for you…I bet you won’t be getting along too well after that..IJS
you will never win unless you marry his mom.
Do you & him live together? Have kids with each other?
That woman doesn’t like you. If she did she would not do that, she would encourage her son to be a good man and put you first. You might need to reevaluate your situation and make some hard decisions.
You want me to tell his azz?!?!?!? Go find his momma some dack. She’ll fall back after that.
He pays all her bills…
How old are you guys??
88 can you please re-read her first post, you are killing me with these responses…
She was the passenger and the ticket was thrown out so…
Girl bye…you will always be #2
Oh fuk no. Its a wrap. Well is she a senior citizen?
I’m just going to assume you guys are very young…because ain’t no way….
I don’t know what to say about this. He gave her a ticket on the humble and it got tossed. And it happened 3 years ago. Am I missing something that I’m supposed to be catching?
lol what you talking about?
He said he been trying to get cool with his gf’s son.
Uhh, no…she is talking about her man being a momma’s boy…
I know of it’s uses my deal is do you need to have a medical card or some type of proof other than saying you got HIV to just get a ticket?
I had to read it a couple of times to make sure I wasn’t missing anything
EHRMAGAWD!!!!!!!! hahahahaha
oh ummm…..no comment.
Not surprised, a lot of these cops are idiots.
In more important news…I’m ready to go home…
Is she disabled, and cannot work or take care of herself???? If not, his moms is dead wrong for having him pay all her bills. I’m all about helping others, especially my moms, but ALL her bills???
Didn’t you read the article? She advised him because it was for medical marijuana.
bwwaaahhhh
Well my dear you have two options. Neither are easy but with what little you’ve said only one will lead to you eventually having the relationship you want. Accept it, stop letting it bother you, and stay…or end the relationship and move on. Four years is a long time for nothing to change on his end which tells me nothing will change. You are going to have to be the one to change.
Chile, you ain’t neva lied. I gotta get ready for Empire.
Good question. I think this one was released now because the city settled with her this week for 40k. Cops know if they can’t physically assault you, they can do the next best thing by wrapping you up in the judicial system. Making you miss work, hoping you fail to appear…Theres multiple ways for them to Orgasm outside of killing a Negroe…Remember the cop told the NFL player who was rushing his wife to their passing Mothers bedside? He told that man I can ruin your life! Digressing…Initially they wanted her to waive her rights to drop the charges, good thing she didn’t. I don’t know if the write up tells the story, but it’s an interesting case…Back to the length of time, again, good question, sometimes it doesn’t matter though. There’s been several cases where the footage disappeared??
You and me both
I can’t get mad at that… seems like he really respects her which is rare … but on the other hand … he is to take care of home first .. now if ya not the wife … then there is really nothing to be mad about … and if you are … this is certainly a problem
Lacey defended his actions, saying “I’ve been going through her purse and she’s got earrings and sh*t I’m touching, and I don’t want to catch anything.”
===========
Stop…just stop.
And thats what I call….a positive ID (makes exit stage left)
She must be from Iowa
4 years in…I don’t see it changing should she ever become the wife. This is gonna go on until momma is gone up yonder.
Yes, you are issued one, which she did have, though it was expired. According to the officer, it was her revealing her status that angered him. He even said that he initially stopped the car, because the taillight was out and he was bored (his words, exactly).
I’ve had it for several years. Enjoy the free shipping and extras. On this Friday, Prime is discounted for only $67 for the year subscription.
As for officer Lacey
You can’t wiiiin, child. You can’t break even. There should never be a competition between you and your spouse’s mom. He’s shown you exactly who he is. It’s up to you whether you believe it or not.
She sued and the City settled recently. I guess the write up doesn’t mention that. He wanted to put her through ‘court hell’ to punish her for his fears. Cost the city 40k??
oh so she isn’t the wife?? Okay … well either deal or move on…. can’t expect husband privileges with a boyfriend… stone me …. ya can’t and want win with that situation … either deal or be out
Anyone seen Tisha Campbell-Martin new video??
I really wish that this weren’t true, but it is. “Can’t expect husband privileges with a boyfriend.”
This made me laff…sound like sum shyt my grandma wood say:))))))
Shat, if in case he does become the husband, ain’t no way he changing the way he deal with his momma…nope…she’ll just be married to the problem..
I meant to watch it. What are your thoughts? I’ve always thought she had a nice voice, but she can’t blow like Pam.
Girl been there .. my great aunt told me this … had I listened chile … would have saved me years of heartache in past relationships
I just read about it, haven’t heard it yet..
Too scared to click. Her bottom teeth bothered me for some reason.
And there it is.
bwwaaahhh, you have that same mouth phobia as I with Kerry Washington…LMAO
New Post: Ursher and Bonita Applebaum.
got a point there because if it’s gone on for so long … why change now …. nip it in the bud off top …
Thanks for doing the education
Hey the police from Iowa will kill your azz in custody and out. DOJ paid their azzes a visit! She ain’t from Iowa they don’t play. Google it?
I was with a momma’s boy and once he cuts off the money, even if it was his choice, she will find a way to blame you. This is their way of life and you have accepted it for 4 years, so they feel like it has become or should be a way of life for you, too. If and when you get married, your money will become her money and because you now have a combined income, she will expect more.
Thanks for comment, it does help!
There should never be a competition between you and your spouse’s mom.

AND I KEPT SCROLLING TO FIND THIS LIL TIDBIT RIGHT HERE. LE MF SIGH.
Let the truth set her free!!
Momma said don’t you ever go into a ladies purse or pocketbook without her permission.
You will learn tuh-day Lacey. Lol.
I’VE HAD A MIGRAINE ALL DAY…MEH.
Is that tonight?
Chile I just refreshed my screen bawahahahahahah
And you think you cannot get stuck in the finger with an earring? How is a rubber glove going to protect you from a prick to the finger.
LOL. I can’t decide whether she was saying, “Gloooray, Yeeeees Looordt, or Thank yaaaaa Jesus.” Either way, I feel her.
Dearborn is a racist suburban area/city in Michigan about 30 miles from Detroit. Their officers are known to pull over minority drivers and harass them for whatever reason they can come up with. This officers attitude is not new to those of us who has had to deal with them growing up. It’s a well known fact that they have always discriminated against minorities, matter of fact her having HIV was just a secondary issue, the real one was that they were minorities driving through good ole Dearborn!
she felt that spirit bawahahahah chile
Steamimg Hot Tears.
Boom!
Usually you need some sort of proof that it is prescribed.
I read all of that up top….I am referring to a potential legal issue. Her ticket got thrown out cuz cop is a fugger but, I am asking in general. Is it legal to smoke while driving IF YOU have a prescription.
She didn’t want to be another Sandra Bland I’m assuming. She gave the officer full disclosure. I thought officers were trained to assume everyone potentially is a heath risk.
OMG! I can totally relate! Been with my husband for 14 years (married for 9) and when I first started dating him, his mom had his ex-wife over all the time and they would even go in different rooms and whisper and s$&t when I was there. Thankfully my husband had enough b@lls to tell his mom off and he kept apologizing to me for the disrespect, but I never blamed him. She even kept his ex’s daughter (who is NOT for my husband) all the time until she graduated recently and sh!t all over her! Now the girl wants nothing to do with her! KARMA!! Mind you she did nothing for our kids (besides X-mas and birthday gifts). I even had to make my husband go and see his mom and check on her when she was pulling those shenanigans because I’m not bitter and she wasn’t stopping NOTHING on my end (which she later even thanked me for)! I had a GOOD “respectful” talk with her a few years back that left her eyes wide open and her mouth on the floor (my mother taught me well). Now her a@s as humble as can be! KARMA! No stress here ma’am……none at all!
isn’t he supposed to call in a female officer to search female belongings?
This is the quote in the article”This will hopefully change how police all over the world treat people with HIV,” my reply Einstein was What does having HIV have to do with it ? HIV positive or not all should be treated with respect. Read, comprehend , then reply since you “tried” to come for me.
Shut up! Let me go Google!
He odds actually talking marriage with me..but I just dont see how
He tells new one thing..that he is going to chill out with helping her so much..but then he still does it..she knows what she doing..
We not married yet..he’s talking marriage but I don’t see it because if all his responsibilities to her….
She is just old er…he feels like he had to do because there is no-one else to do but him..shid that lady living good…I’m suffering…
Yes she is..but she is also receiving a fixed income..that she’s spend how she wants.
She is always nice when I see her…she soul tell him to go be happy with me but then she still needs.
No kids together..we don’t live together.(yet)
YES… she always need something…and he never said no..but he comes to me like he sick if it..but he is not changing it
No he has a sister..she does nothing!!!!! It’s all up to him..we all live in the A..
You apparently didn’t read the entire article nor comprehend where it stated she takes medical marijuana. You’re an idiot, next!
How about that!!!!
Right!
I love It!…Great investment!
Are you stupid?, I’m not speaking on medical marijuana .People deserve respect from the authorities regardless, that is the point you keep overlooking. No need to keep responding to someone who is obviously an Imbecile. Good day!
No, apparently again you’re inarticulate k unt. I stated you didn’t comprehend and you didn’t. Kiss my entire azz and keep it moving bytch!
Point proved! Imbecile, with limited vocabulary, Get a thesaurus! Speak like a real adult, not needing to curse to convey your thoughts. Got you worked up Huh?
Enjoy your miserable life stalker. I don’t have to flex my lexicon for broke keyboard warriors. You need to check your sentence structure before throwing shade uncouth mouthy bytch. I’m done fonting, because you’re obviously intellectually challenged and like drama.
Dearborn is a historically RACIST suburb of Detroit. Always has been. Nothing about this is surprising except that the court actually did the right thing. I’m 33, born and raised in Detroit, and it was bred in me that blks didn’t buy houses in Dearborn and that you watched your ass in Dearborn. We buy houses there and have businesses there now, but it’s still the same climate.
You clearly are intellectually retarded. I posed a question and your inarticulate, miserable arse came for me with ad hominem attacks. You aren’t worthy to lick my boots slime. Your pseduo sense of bravado over the internet means nothing. You’re a miserable piece of garbage pet. Go get a hobby and make money you bald headed monkey!
I see you tried to prove your vocabulary. I knew I hit a nerve . Toodles…Hood Rat!
No.
I just wanted to apologize, somehow,someway , the conversation went left. It is totally out of character for me to act foolish as I have , and call someone out their name, as I did. May God Bless.
What’s racist about pulling a driverover for a broken tail light and issuing another ticket for driving without a license? Furthermore, according to the article I read, the female passenger was ticketed for “medical pot,” not because she is HIV positive.
I can’t speak for Michigan, but in Chicago, if a first responder is notified they are dealing with someone who has HIV or AIDS, they are instructed to use “universal precautions.”
If I were a cop, I wouldn’t stick my hand inside a suspect’s bag/purse. I’d feel the bag to detect the presence of a weapon. If I were satisfied the bag didn’t contain an object that felt like a weapon, I’d instruct the suspect to remove the contents.
Reading is fundamental. I gave background on the city of Dearborn, and L. Ron Hubbard. God bless.
What does her having HIV have anything to do with this situation?
Is it me, or does it seem that there are too many “gaps” in this story? What does HIV have to do with it? Why did she get stopped? What in the…?
A WHOLE lot of comments were deleted, first seeing that.
stav-? kudos for apologizing. I don’t know what was said but I’ll give props to anyone for acknowledging their faults and turning a negative into a positive.
Not to be ignorant, but maybe people should just say that to avoid a beat down at the hands of cops. Bet they’d be less likely to beat you up if they knew something like that.
