Hello everyone, I am a foreign student in Poland, I was driving at 1 am on my way home after visiting a colleague, I was stopped by a police car, unfortunately I have never been disrespected by a police officer before, I opened the window to talk to him and he was shouting that I do not have a permit to pass this street and that only taxis and buses are allowed, I was surprised because there was another private car right in front of me and it passed peacefully, so I said to him sir I saw another car pass right in front of me so maybe that is why I did not see the sign and I am sorry but I told him as a question is this sign new because I see many cars passing, of course he did not answer me and took my documents, I want to point out that the police officer was really upset and in a bad mood unlike usual in Poland and also unlike usual his English was bad and he could barely speak and he did not wait for me to use Google Translate, I stopped for ten minutes and he said to me okay I will give you a fine of 500 zlotys I did not object in any way, I said you are a policeman, you know more than me of course, but I asked some questions to avoid this issue again, so he said to me, okay, don’t pay anything, I will transfer the fine to the court (note here that perhaps due to the bad language, he could not use any question or choice tool), which made me think that I do not have the right to make the decision, and he started the procedures and made me sign one paper and did not give me any document and told me after I finish I will tell you what will happen, so I waited and then he told me go, you are free without any chance to explain to me, I stopped after that to search and I understood what happened and that he had transferred the fine to the court or that is what he understood, although I did not refuse, I could not search at the same time about the issue because it made me very nervous and I was not aware of this matter and he did not give me any explanation, even a simple one, can I avoid the court and pay the fine, or is the matter settled and I must comply, it was just a misunderstanding due to the two languages, which made me nervous and I could not think rationally or search quickly

  1. Article 54 kpw means explanatory proceedings. You will have to give testimony, and depending on what the court decides you may be or not be fined.
