The first search of the bus
The police finally managed to board the bus and proceeded to force the driver to leave with them on board. This despite the bus having a license to be where it was.
On Tuesday the bus had already be held for some time as it was searched. This is illegal according to the German Journalist's Union.
The official reason for seizure is currently that there was a pirate radio station near. The bus was for editing media, although it is possible that computer wifi antenna were mistakenly identified. Activists are still trying to get into contact with those who were on the bus.
