Piotr Kusznieruk informed that the court refused to temporarily arrest Piotr W., and after more than 50 hours of detention, the man was supposed to return home. He described that Piotr W. was standing at a red light at a pedestrian crossing, after which the police were said to have chased him, subdued him, and pinned him to the floor. According to the account referenced by Kusznieruk, the man lost consciousness and was taken to the hospital in handcuffs. The author noted that — as he wrote — the specific basis for the initiation of the identification has not been publicly clarified to this day. He added that the prosecution requested a temporary arrest, and the court did not agree to this request. Kusznieruk assessed that arrest should be a last resort and called for an investigation into the basis for the intervention, the use of force by the officers, and the circumstances surrounding Piotr W.'s loss of consciousness. #prawo #sprawiedliwość #Polska (translated)

Prem evaluated the recording from the body camera and pointed out nine violations that, in his opinion, were committed by the intervening individuals. He claimed that one of the police officers only provided their rank, without a name, and that the officers did not explain the actual reason for the identification. Referring to Article 15 of the Police Act was, as he wrote, insufficient to justify this action. According to Prem, there were also no legal or factual grounds for the identification, which he considered unlawful. The author also accused the police officers of violating the principle of least intrusive action as per Article 15(6) of the Police Act. He considered a mocking comment directed at the man and an approach within 45 cm to be a manifestation of psychological pressure and a violation of dignity. He also wrote that the order to move to another location had no legal basis. Prem asserted that the officers used physical force without prior calls to comply with the law and warnings required by Article 34 of the Act of May 24, 2013, on measures of direct coercion and firearms. He listed possible consequences: violation of personal inviolability under Article 217 of the Penal Code and potential abuse of power or failure to fulfill duties under Article 231 § 1 of the Penal Code, which carries a penalty of up to 3 years of imprisonment. He regarded the most significant issue to be the man's escape from the grip. According to Prem, if the grip was unlawful, the citizen would not, in principle, have committed an offense under Article 222 or Article 224 of the Penal Code, and self-defense against the unlawful action of a public officer would not be punishable. #policja #prawo #uczciwość (translated)

The decision regarding the arrest of Piotr W. is to be made by the District Court for Warsaw-Centrum after the man, accused of attacking a policewoman and violating the bodily integrity of officials, fainted upon hearing about the planned request for temporary arrest. #Polska #Policja #TrybunałKonstytucyjny (translated)

ThePolandNews reported that a police chase involving a 38-year-old driver, who did not stop for a control check in Jastrzębce, passed through three counties of Lower Silesia and ended after nearly 120 kilometers in Boguszów-Gorce. According to the profile, the man, a resident of Wrocław, was wanted to serve a six-month prison sentence for a previous violation of a court ban on driving vehicles, and his driving privileges had been revoked. During the escape, he was reported to have caused a collision with a police car. ThePolandNews stated that he would also be charged with failing to stop for a control check and driving a vehicle despite revoked privileges; he faces up to five years in prison. #Policja #Pościg #Wrocław (translated)

The author of the entry turned to Stanisław Żaryn, the Polish Police, and the Metropolitan Police Headquarters, claiming that the man was not a random passerby but a co-organizer of a legal demonstration, being surveilled for several days. He assessed that the police officers violated procedures during his identification and demanded strong action against criminals, not the opposition. #Polska #Demonstracja #Policja #PL (translated)

Piotr Kusznieruk wrote that the revealed recordings raised questions about the reason for the police check on the man who was, as he suggested, connected to the protest. According to his reconstruction, the officers followed the man for several dozen meters, demanded his personal information without providing a specific reason for the check, and then incapacitated him inside the building. Kusznieruk noted that the man pushed the officers away and fled inside, but he believed that this did not explain the earlier decision to conduct a check. The author claimed that the man lost consciousness during the intervention, and the knife found with him was not presented as having been used. He also questioned the proportionality of the force used and whether the man deliberately attacked the policewoman when the window broke. Furthermore, he described that several hours later, the detained man was informed that he could meet with lawyer Magdalena Leszczyńska if he provided his details. According to Kusznieruk, the man did not know the lawyer and did not want to see her, while the police considered this a refusal to contact a defense attorney. Kusznieruk also criticized the statement by Prime Minister Donald Tusk, who — as he wrote — linked the matter to President Nawrocki. He asked whether the police acted on the orders of superiors, collected data on demonstration participants, and previously observed the man. He directed questions to the Polish Police and the Ministry of Interior and Administration regarding who ordered the identification of Piotr and on what basis. He warned that if the identification of protesters occurred without legal grounds, it could mean using the state apparatus to control citizens. #Polska #Policja #protesty (translated)

Sebastian Kaleta called the publication of the recording another disgrace and wondered why it was released only after more than a day. He claimed that the material undermines previous reports of an alleged attack on the officer and shows an unjustified attempt to identify a citizen. According to Kaleta, the officer did not provide a reason for taking action, which allegedly violated internal procedures. Citing established case law from the Supreme Court, he called for an investigation into the suspicion of exceeding authority — if the identification occurred without reason or for the unlawful purpose of establishing a list of assembly participants. Kaleta wrote that the man was alone and had no witnesses. He also claimed that the protesters outside the Constitutional Tribunal felt besieged by the police and feared the creation of a list of participants, for which, as he emphasized, the police had no right. He admitted that the man quickly moved to the office so that further actions took place in the presence of witnesses. He assessed that the police directed at the Constitutional Tribunal did not have the trust of the protesters. #Polska #protesty #policja (translated)

Sławek Jastrzębowski wrote that Wielowieyska informed that Piotr pushed the policewoman hard, causing her to hit her head on the glass door, resulting in its breakage. He noted that at the same time she claimed that not much could be seen on the recording, and asked how she knew these details. According to Jastrzębowski, the recording shows that at the moment the glass shattered, the policewoman was sitting on the beaten man. #Polska #media #sprawiedliwość (translated)

The police published a recording of an intervention on Marszałkowska Street in Warsaw, where a man was arrested who, according to reports, had attacked a policewoman, but it later turned out that it was not a knife attack and the man only had a folding knife used for everyday tasks. #Warszawa #policja #protest (translated)

Piotr Kusznieruk stated that the recording from the police officer's camera raises questions about the reasons why the officers wanted to identify the man, as well as about his aggressive reaction and attempt to escape. He claimed that at the moment the window was broken, the man was already incapacitated on the ground, and asked how he could have then caused the policewoman's head to hit the window. He appealed to the Chief Police Headquarters to present the facts instead of further versions of events. #policja #bezpieczeństwo #prawaobywatelskie (translated)

Bartosz Lewandowski asked the Polish Police about the legal and factual basis for identifying Piotr. He wrote that, in his opinion, the police cannot preventively determine the data of participants in demonstrations or gatherings without a specific reason, such as a suspicion of committing a misdemeanor or the need to identify witnesses of a crime. He noted that the recording began when the officers were running after the man and asked what had happened earlier and whether superiors had ordered the identification of specific individuals. He assessed that the film left more questions. #Polska #Policja #Demonstracje (translated)

The Warsaw Police published a recording of an intervention on Marszałkowska Street in Warsaw, which took place on Friday, October 16. According to the police, the footage came from the body camera of one of the officers and showed the course of the event. The police stated that the detained man was initially passive and actively resisted, did not follow commands, refused to provide his personal information or show identification, and then attempted to flee into a building. According to their report, during the arrest he violated the bodily integrity of a policewoman who suffered injuries, received medical assistance, and was taken to the hospital. The police also assessed that the people present in the building hindered the intervention, did not maintain the required distance, and increased the sense of threat. They explained that the publication of the recording was meant to allow the public to familiarize themselves with the course of the event, in connection with the emerging reports and comments which, they claimed, could serve to spread misinformation. #policja #Warszawa #interwencja (translated)

Małgorzata Gałka wrote that the police released a recording involving Mr. Piotr as evidence that the man refused contact with a lawyer. According to her, in the recording he set a condition that he be provided with the lawyer's details, but he did not receive information on where it came from. Gałka suggested that she might have been planted. She added that the police officers attempted to persuade the man to sign documents without explaining what they were about and emphasized that the conversation was being recorded. Gałka assessed that describing this action as an attempt to protect themselves from liability would be too lenient. She also recalled that Bartosz Malewski spoke the day before in wPolsce.pl about the course of the situation and how often the police in similar cases cite the argument that someone did not want a lawyer. #policja #prawo #sprawiedliwość (translated)

Aga turned to the KSP Police and wrote that MP Marek Jakubiak shared a recording from the hospital in which a man had head injuries. She accused the authors of the publication of lying and questioned that it was about Piotr, as his face was pixelated. #Polska #Bezpieczeństwo #Sprawiedliwość (translated)

The Poland News reported that a Porsche driver attacked an elderly couple at the intersection of Czerniakowska Street and Witosa Avenue in Warsaw. According to witnesses, the cause was a traffic situation and an attempt to change lanes. When the Toyota driver pointed out the dangerous driving, the man allegedly got out of the car and beat and kicked the elderly woman, and then struggled with her husband and others who tried to intervene. During his escape, he nearly hit one of the men. The Poland News added that the woman received medical assistance and the police were searching for the aggressor. #Warszawa #bezpieczeństwo #drogowe (translated)

The Warsaw police reported that the detained man initially refused to contact a lawyer or any other legal representative and only later decided to take advantage of it. According to the police, the man also refused to provide personal details, even during examinations in the hospital. The police stated that they respected his rights and could not force him to seek legal assistance. They announced the release of a recording of the actions involving the detainee and denied reports that he had a head wound. #Policja #Prawo #Zatrzymanie (translated)

As a result of an attack on a policewoman near the Constitutional Tribunal, the man was subdued and arrested by the police, and both individuals were taken to the hospital, which the Minister of Internal Affairs described as a result of deep polarization in society. #Policja #Protest #TrybunałKonstytucyjny (translated)

WolnośćTV cited a statement by Dobromir Sośnierz, who argued that merely possessing a knife does not make a person a knife-wielder if they have not used it, and that they had the right to carry it. Sośnierz compared this to men possessing a tool that could be used for rape, noting that possessing it does not in itself make them rapists. He described this argumentation as an example of "PRL propaganda." The post also referred to the Confederation. #Wolność #Prawo #Propaganda (translated)
