A Judge rules South Bend's tape case involving Mayor Pete Buttigieg can continue
The highly contested and litigated controversy hinges on the contents of five tapes of recorded phone conversations inside the South Bend police department and allegations that the tapes contain racist comments made by a group of officers about former Police Chief Darryl Boykins, who is black. According to court documents, copies of the recordings were made at Boykins' request.
The communications official then"made five audio cassette tapes for eight recordings that occurred between February 4, 2011, and July 15, 2011."On Monday, Hostetler ruled that recordings made prior to DePaepe's discovery were not covered by the Indiana Wiretap Act and thus were not prohibited. That ruling means those tapes may be released to the city council.
