The police would not help, these corporations, however scummy, are seemingly authorized to do this. The police would just tell you to pay the fine.

- ethbr1 3y agoYes and no. I had a cop help me try to cut an unlabeled bike lock off my bike. The business had double-locked it to a rail I'd locked it to, because apparently that was forbidden. Unfortunately, there was no sign, so I had no idea. Cop and I worked on it for awhile, then he gave the security guard an earful for not leaving a message. Side note: of all the bike locks, braided are by far the most annoying to cut, because they're impervious to bolt cutters.
- TaylorAlexander 3y agoI am specifically assuming that the corporations in Atlanta that put boots on cars are permitted to do so via a public private partnership, and the officer would tell you to contact the corporation to deal with it. I doubt any similar situation exists with bike locks, so I don’t see that as comparable.
