The District Court for Warsaw - Śródmieście refused to apply temporary detention against Piotr W., who attacked police officers, arguing that the evidence collected at the current stage of the proceedings does not indicate a high probability of his guilt. #PiotrW #areszt #sąd (translated)

Magdalena Prządka-Leszczyńska informed that the court did not grant the prosecutor's motion for the temporary detention of Piotr W. and agreed with the defense's position. She wrote that the man returned home after more than 50 hours. The author described that on Friday morning on Marszałkowska Street in Warsaw, Piotr W. was waiting for a green light at the pedestrian crossing, after which he was subdued by police officers. According to her account, he lost consciousness and was transported by ambulance on a stretcher, always in handcuffs, even during transport and while at the emergency room. Prządka-Leszczyńska wrote that the prosecutor demanded the application of temporary detention, and she, Magda Majkowska, and Bartosz Malewski from Ordo Iuris argued in court that there were no grounds for depriving Piotr W. of his freedom before the verdict. She added that the court agreed with them. She thanked the MPs who — as she wrote — supported Piotr W. from the very first hours, as well as journalists for showing the full recording. Among the people and editorial offices mentioned were Dorota Arciszewska, Marek Jakubiak, Telewizja Republika, wPolsce.pl, and Polsat News. #sprawiedliwość #Polska #prawo (translated)

Magdalena Majkowska informed that the District Court for Warsaw-Śródmieście in Warsaw did not grant the prosecutor's request for the temporary arrest of Piotr. As she wrote, together with lawyer Magda Prządką and lawyer Bartosz Malewski from Ordo Iuris, she pointed out from the beginning that the prosecutor did not demonstrate a high probability of the alleged act being committed nor any risk of flight, hiding, or tampering. Majkowska added that according to the court, there was no need to apply any preventive measures against him. According to Majkowska, Piotr had not been previously convicted, had a stable life situation, was a member of the volunteer fire brigade, and was a former professional soldier. She also wrote that he participated in demonstrations in defense of the Constitutional Tribunal, and at home, his wife and children were waiting for him. #Polska #Wolność #Prawo (translated)

Bartosz Malewski informed that the court did not grant the prosecution's request for a month of temporary detention for Piotr. According to Malewski, the prosecutor justified the request with concerns that Piotr might hide and an assessment that there is a high probability of him committing further crimes. Malewski wrote that together with lawyers Magda Prządka and Magda Majkowska, he convinced the court that there were no grounds for imposing detention. He claimed that it was not sufficiently substantiated that Piotr had committed the alleged acts and that Friday's events should be treated as an incident requiring thorough explanation. According to Malewski, Piotr has a permanent place of residence, is socially engaged, and is a firefighter in the volunteer fire department, so there is no real risk that he would hide. He added that after the defenders reached him, Piotr, feeling safer, started limited cooperation with the authorities. Malewski also emphasized that the lack of cooperation is Piotr's right and should not be a basis for preventive measures. Malewski also assessed that the forecast for further criminal activity had no rational basis. He wrote that Piotr had not been convicted and that his behavior on Friday was not aimed at committing the alleged acts, which, in Malewski's view, undermined the legal qualification adopted by the prosecution. He informed that the court did not apply other preventive measures, such as police supervision, and that Piotr would respond to the charges at liberty. He added that assistance was provided as part of a procedural intervention by Ordo Iuris. #wolność #sprawiedliwość #prawo (translated)

Konrad Berkowicz wrote that the TVE journalist was reporting from Paris, dressed — as he described it — as if in a war zone. According to him, a group of people from the Maghreb attacked her, showed a throat-cutting gesture to the camera, and interrupted the broadcast. He ironically referred to the situation as "progress." https://t.co/PuK6023LRx #media #bezpieczeństwo #Paryż (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 Ordo Iuris Institute wrote that the refusal to provide an explanation by the suspect should not be a basis for temporary detention. Attorney Magda Majkowska from Ordo Iuris, Piotr's defender, said that this is his right and that the prosecution cannot justify detention based on it. She added that she has never encountered a case where the mere refusal led to detention. In her opinion, this could mean using detention to force the suspect to provide an explanation in order to regain his freedom. The Institute defined the right to remain silent as a fundamental procedural guarantee and stated that exercising it should not be associated with negative consequences. #Prawo #Sprawiedliwość #Obrona (translated)

The author wrote that Gen. Valery Gerasimov, Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Federation, unexpectedly reported significant progress of the Russian troops, which—he assessed—caused disbelief even among pro-Russian circles. He wondered if this was meant to suggest that the Americans had stopped providing military data to Ukraine. #Wojna #Ukraina #Rosja #FR #UA #US (translated)

Jacek Zarzecki wrote that the Provincial Veterinary Inspectorate issued health certificates for 21 animals taken from the Łączna Zoo to the Netherlands, including a tiger. According to him, the certificates were not issued by the county veterinarian supervising the zoo, who publicly stated that he saw no grounds for taking the animals, and was subsequently removed from the proceedings. Zarzecki pointed out that the police were supposed to designate a final destination for the animals, namely a private zoo. He asked on what legal basis the inspectorate took over the duties of the county veterinarian and from which account the certificates were issued. He also expressed doubts about whether each animal was examined before loading and whether its medical documentation, which — he wrote — was taken over by the prosecutor, was checked, and whether the tiger had a valid rabies vaccination. Zarzecki emphasized that the health certificate is an official document on which the credibility of Polish exports of animals and meat is based. He stated that any possible bending of procedures in this matter could undermine trust in the documents and procedures, and if EU institutions got involved, Poland would have to explain itself. #Zwierzęta #Weterynaria #Prawo (translated)

Grzegorz Płaczek wrote that the Ministry of Health planned to introduce mandatory HPV vaccinations for children in Poland starting from 2027, despite opposition. He stated that on September 30, 2026, the Commission for the Codification of Criminal Law proposed raising the maximum fine for evading mandatory vaccinations from 1500 to 9000 PLN. Płaczek also indicated that governors could impose administrative fines on parents of up to 10,000 PLN at once and up to 50,000 PLN in total, regardless of any misdemeanor proceedings. According to him, the money could be deducted from accounts before the dispute with the state is resolved, and proceedings in administrative courts could last four years or longer. The author claimed that a similar system would apply to HPV vaccinations. He wrote that outside of North Macedonia, they are only recommended worldwide, and prevention should be based on information and informed decisions made by parents, not on financial sanctions. He advocated for the voluntary nature of HPV vaccinations and criticized the actions of the state. #szczepienia #zdrowie #prawo (translated)

The District Prosecutor's Office in Siedlce submitted a motion to dismiss the proceedings against Krzysztof A., who is suspected of attempting to murder the mayor of the municipality of Stara Kornica, and is requesting the implementation of therapy in a long-term treatment center due to his mental state. #ataknożem #wojt #chorobapsychiczna (translated)

Piotr Kusznieruk wrote that the policeman who allegedly held a restrained person by the throat and threatened them with death during an intervention should be held accountable for potential abuse of power, illegal use of violence, and criminal threats. He emphasized that the uniform does not provide immunity but rather entails special responsibility. He added that the case requires an investigation into both the officer's actions and the legality of the entire arrest, as well as the credibility of the allegations against the detainee. #Prawo #Sprawiedliwość #Policja (translated)

The services in action described an incident in which witnesses suspected that the driver of a Porsche was drunk and tried to stop him. According to the author, the driver assaulted several people, including an elderly woman, whom he hit several times, and with one of the blows — an elbow to the head — he knocked her onto the hood of the car. Another witness was said to have been hit while the driver was fleeing the scene. The author cited a statement from the spokesperson for the Warsaw II District Police Headquarters, who reported that the case is being pursued upon a private accusation, and the police had not received a notification. The services in action claimed that in this situation, a notification from the victim is not required, and the police and prosecutors should initiate proceedings. They referred to Article 217a § 1 of the Penal Code and appealed to the police and prosecutors to take action. #Bezpieczeństwo #Prawo #Policja (translated)

The services in action asked Waldemar Żurek whether the prosecutors under his authority did not want to initiate proceedings ex officio regarding the man with the Porsche, who — according to the author — beat up an elderly couple after they pointed out his driving. The author described that in the recording, the older woman was struck in the face, attacked with an elbow, and kicked, while the older man was beaten and hit by a vehicle. He also asked where the important public interest was in this case and criticized the response of the services and the statement of the police spokesman. https://t.co/ojuMHHLSwU #bezpieczeństwo #sprawiedliwość #prawo (translated)

Bartosz Malewski wrote that the detention protocol and charges were presented to Piotr 30 hours after his arrest. He assessed that this was the first properly conducted action in the proceedings and added that during this time Piotr was removed from handcuffs for the first time. According to Malewski, Piotr was charged with forcing police officers to refrain from taking action and violating the bodily integrity of the police officers. In the case of one of the officers, the charge was said to include actions threatening loss of life or serious bodily harm. Malewski cited the provisions: Article 224 § 2 of the Penal Code in conjunction with Article 222 § 1a of the Penal Code in relation to Article 57a § 1 of the Penal Code in conjunction with Article 11 & 2 of the Penal Code, as well as Article 224 § 2 of the Penal Code in conjunction with Article 222 § 1 of the Penal Code in relation to Article 57a § 1 of the Penal Code in conjunction with Article 11 & 2 of the Penal Code. He stated that Piotr did not admit to the alleged acts and refused to provide explanations, but he submitted an extensive statement about the course of events from his own perspective and about the period of detention so far. Malewski also informed that a request had been submitted, among other things, for an examination of Piotr's health status. #policja #prawo #sprawiedliwość (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)

The author described the photograph as a symbol of the current authorities' violation of the law and stated that the bar association should intervene in this matter. He wrote that the police cannot condition contact with a lawyer on any terms, because — as he emphasized — this is a fundamental right of every person at every stage of the proceedings. https://t.co/XqfwEMMsUR #prawo #adwokatura #wolność #PL (translated)
