Seattle Police Department said they were taking this bike to run the #s. I told them they don't need to take my bike anywhere to run the #s. that they can do that from where it stands. They disregarded my objection and proceeded to take my bike without running the serial #s. I grabbed my bike and told them this is some bully cop bullshit. They arrested me for assault and obstruction. Took my bike and now tell me that they found the original owner and he is happy to hear the recovery of this bike. I hope this person realizes that this is in fact not his bike and that the SPD is mistaken. I am now marking this bike stolen. Stolen by some bully cops not doing any service to the community.
