Recently, the newspaper reported, that are used more and more new laws on traffic controllers with powers, I mentioned in the entry Fri. Harder to be stowaway. As it turns out, concerns, that investigators armed with new powers will abuse power, not yet confirmed.You can even see the opposite – passengers for fear of punishment, not only monetary but also mandate more aggressively trying to avoid shots. There are Information controllers for poturbowanych, who tried to prevent the escape gapowiczowi. Trying to escape more often too are before the courts imposing a fine pursuant to Article. 87and 87b and transport law. The fine imposed by a mandate by the police may not exceed 500 zł for each offense, but if punished refuses to accept the mandate, or the police immediately address the request to the court for punishment, fine may be increased to 5.000 zł for each offense. But this is not the only possible consequence of the offending conduct of stowaways. If one passenger during the flight controller violates integrity, at stake is not only responsible for the offense, but also criminal liability. Without a doubt, therefore,, If we happen to travel without a valid ticket, better to accept the penalty, than with such trivial cause engage in skirmishes, that may end up entering into the National Criminal Register.
To avoid the charge of supporting only one side 🙂 , also notices, not only that passengers can sometimes behave properly. Recently I came across the information, that one of the controllers threatened gapowiczowi object resembling a gun, suggesting, that perceived him in the knee (sic!). Of course, such behavior – if it is confirmed – must end up in court, because it fills the threat of a criminal offense punishable. We hope, that this case is an isolated, since vision threatening weapons inspectors may discourage many people to travel by public transport.
