Officer Veal – South Bend Police Department

Written by CBKN76

In 2023, Officer Veal was involved in an incident where he approached and questioned a citizen filming a police scene, asking another officer if it was acceptable. The situation escalated when the citizen was pushed back further, raising concerns about the misuse of a 25-foot law intended to keep observers at a distance. The citizen filed a lawsuit with the ACLU, alleging misuse of the law to prevent public recording of police activities.
