Opinions/experience about the Polish Police

I'm confused, they make this much a week, month, or year?

Blinks ...

Mind you, the uniform they wear can put you in mind of that anyway. Not so easy in the UK with the helmet ...


You speak for yourself :) LOL

I successfully bribed a copper in Poland driving from Warsaw to Katowice. I got caught speeding, doing 110 in a 70 limit in my UK registered car.

He told me I should pay 400 zl but I didn't have any zlotys on me. I offered him 50 euros and he accepted it. No forms to fill in, so I guess the money went straight into his pocket.

Mind you, I don't know what else he could do because I don't live in Poland. As far as I understand there is no cross-border system for chasing up fines.

There isn't. But they can impound your car if you don't pay up.

Come on Harry you mean old Bastrad, say something nice about Poland for a change..

I think there was a mutual understanding.... the copper was 50 euros better off and I got to go on my way, without too much inconvenience. Still, I learnt my lesson - I lost 50 euros. Its not as if I was a major criminal. I think the police man was ok and didn't want to ruin my day over a petty crime and I'm grateful for that.

They can be provocative at football matches, perhaps acting out of fear. I wouldn't have liked to have been a police officer at the Lech Poznań Vs Ruch Chorzów match :(

How is it nasty about Poland to say that they have the same rights as the British police and will take the same action?

wow, I brought this forum back to life to get my question answered...but nothing.

Must be per month.
