Life / Pepper Spray in Poland? [36]


lol u mean when the crime is in process?calm down put yourself in a car and someone is cursing and kicking your parked car with you sitting in it?wont you feel threatened? if the guy breaks the window and hits you with something?or you will just sit in there and wait for your OH LORD*?

I will get out and confront the person,and before doing that have something to protect me incase he has something?I cenrtainly will not attack until I am absolutely under threat for my life.

BTW guns dont kill,people kill,and it can be done with a stone on the street also.

Lol then beware.

Law / Unable to repay bank loan in Poland. What are the consequences according to the law? [18]

Consequences:Eventually a komurnik will come to you and confiscate whatever he thinks is worth something including car or a jar of ogórki (pickled cucumber) by some reports to resell and recover the owned money.

Your name will be added to banks database about your credit history.
Visa and reentry to Poland will depend on if you screwed the uzjad skarbowy(tax dept),if you didn't you all good.
Way to get out of this is to pay back with interest.
