Law / Polish Police and Their Tactics [230]

Actually, they wanted to stop a driver who had a ban.

In the U.S. they would have just rolled out their stop sticks and punctured all the guys tires.
Then turn a dog loose on them if they run.
They only shoot people that are a threat to them.
Threaten to run over a cop with a vehicle and they will shoot you.
Point a gun at a cop and they will shoot you.
I am surprised there are not more Polish police killed for being nice guys.

Life / Litter in Poland [24]

If your not, then how does litter in Poland compare to your country?

Throw an empty cigarette pack out your car window going down the road = $100 fine (380 PLN)
Throw a bag of trash out along the road or in a park or rest area = $500 fine (1900PLN)
Make a mess like the above picture and it will cost you $1000 fine (3800PLN) plus clean up costs.
And if can't pay you sit in jail for 30 to 90 days or until someone pays your fine for you.
Throw your garbage in a private dumpsters like a restaurants = $500 fine even if it is a small bag.
They have free recycle bins for glass, tin cans plastic, and paper everywhere so there is no excuse.
Does Poland have free recycle bins available ?

Watch the plainclothes police shooting at the tyres, instead of the rogue driver who had a driving ban.

That idiot would have been shot dead anyplace in the United States for trying to run over and kill a cop.
There would not even have been a trial unless he was Black.

Law / Polish Police and Their Tactics [230]

So you are talking search and seizure of evidence ?
In the U.S. the cops are "suppose to have" probable cause to do a search.
That's why in my younger years when I was a bit wild like you and the cops pulled me over and wanted to search my truck, for anything they could bust me on to create a State manufactured crime, my first question to them was, "What is your probable cause" which ended that search right then and there.

It would be interesting to know what authority the Polish police have to search you, your vehicle or your home without a search warrant signed by a judge.

Are the Polish police held accountable when they abuse their authority ?
Do they get put in prison when they do ?

Polish strippers take U.S. Soldier to the cleaners for $50,000 PLN.
Army major was allegedly drugged by strippers in Gdansk, Poland after spending thousands in a sex dungeon.
Serves him right. lol

News / Years of Poland in the EU - assessment of pros and cons [1199]

Did you hear that the EU decided to sue Polish government for constraining independent judges.

Yup, and they were going to sue Poland for refusing to change the zloty to the Euro and they were going to sue Poland for refusing to take in immigrants and they are now going to sue Poland for being run by Poland instead of the E.U.

Poland is very blessed to have PiS leaders running Poland instead of some puppets bowing to the opposition Socialists.

Considering that you can be arrested

Where ? Poland or the U.S.A. are you referring to ?

they are strong only when they counter adolescents

They do like to intimidate adolescents with their power trips in the U.S. but I don't know about Poland.

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2237]

Why do you guys find it so hard to stay On-Topic ?

Undocumented and unrebutted chats are called gossips.

What makes you think such chats are not documented ?
Even innocent chats with your family physician are carefully documented, especially if you have any signs of being depressed.
And any gun owner who has a concealed and carry permit has agreed to let the police have access to both your mental and physical health records.

This is why I always request my doctors notes about two weeks after every visit to him to make sure that I have not been misunderstood when I share very limited information about my personal life.

Even aggressive posts on a forum like this may be documented.
Credible gossip doesn't need to be rebutted for the police to use against you.
Taking this all into consideration I can see Poland's gun laws being relaxed on gun ownership for law abiding citizens.

Law / Polish Police and Their Tactics [230]

The US Supreme court ruled that it's legal.

When did they do that ?

Why would Polish cops not use the same technique?

Because jon said that the Polish police are trained to defuse the situation and not escalate it.

Law / Polish Police and Their Tactics [230]

It doesn't work like that.

I am surprised you don't know how it works here for as long as you have been a member..

Which is why training is so important,

Did you miss this ?

Where I come from the police do just the opposite and are trained to, provoke, intimidate, threaten and harass to create a State manufactured crime.

The cops here are trained how to lie, how to ask you incriminating questions, how to write a twisted police report to convict you and how to provoke you.

I know this for a fact because I took a college class in criminal justice and that is some of what was taught.
This class is required for wanna be cops.
And no, I took the class for other reasons then being a cop.
(self preservation)
I'm sure the Polish police are not trained in this manner.

Law / Polish Police and Their Tactics [230]

It's not up to you...

Of course it is as it is, jon, it's my thread, you are just a guest in it.

They are however trained to diffuse a situation wherever possible, and this is something they are generally good at.

I have never understood this as you Europeans have taught me something new.
Where I come from the police do just the opposite and are trained to insult, provoke, intimidate, threaten and harass you to create a State manufactured crime.

A broken taillight can turn into a felonious resisting and obstructing assault crime very quickly if you don't let them intimidate you.
That is why I started this thread is to understand about the Polish police tactics that are to de-escalate instead of using their authority to bully you into a crime.

And yes, they are trained to do this.

And they know even if you beat the charge in court it costs you at least $5,000 for a good attorney so you still lose.
Such different tactics I must say which explains why so many people end up dead like Floyd did over a f-ing fake $20 bill.
I truly do appreciate the literate posts here explaining the Polish police tactics in making arrests.

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2237]

where will the chief derive his opinion???

I think they call it Interpol.
Police in every country in the world have access to it to know who is who which includes your arrest records.
Have you ever requested your personal file of records the F.B.I. has on you and every other American ?
You would sht your pants to see what they have gathered about you including your DNA.
And since you have flown internationally they even have your eye retina scan.
The Polish police have access to these records as well.
You can run but you can't hide as Sir Trump said.

Law / Polish Police and Their Tactics [230]

Rich makes a very good point.

Because most of the time you don't have to kill to subdue.

Again this goes to different countries standards of the law.
A good example is Jamaica where the gun laws are like Poland's except the consequences are often fatal.
If the police catch you with a gun there is about a 50/50 chance that they will just shoot you dead if they have had a run in with them prior.

If the military catches you with a gun they will shoot and kill you regardless.
I can't imagine how that would go over say in Chicago or Poland.

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2237]

And by legit I mean a person with no criminal record.

To be more specific, "No assaultive" criminal record only.

That Police Chief is not about having criminal record

Better yet, if a Police Chief knows that someone who say has a known aggressive behavior, regardless of having a criminal record, should be denied.

Those stipulations are excellent Lenka.
Thank you again.
If America was as stringent as Poland to obtain a firearm, I am sure we wouldn't have mass shootings since all our mass shootings have been done by mentally ill people.

Hats off to Poland in that respect.

Law / Polish Police and Their Tactics [230]

American cop will shoot to kill, Polish not.

That is because rather then house scum at $40,000 a year in a prison for the next twenty years ($800,000) and possibly face a lawsuit that ties the court system up for years $$$$ it is just more of a economically choice to kill them in America which most people agree to.

The thread topic is about Polish police tactics though, not America's.

the trust level dropped dramatically

This is because of the Politically Correct Socialist take over that says it's a crime for the parents to spank their child and the kid grows up having no respect for authority and totally out of control which makes the police having to change their tactics.

The people have screwed themselves with the trust the police worked so hard to establish.

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2237]

Yes, I checked out iglica.waw.pl/ and as all good gun ranges it looked like safety first.
It's great that Poland offers sport shooting, gun safety and familiarizing people with different weapons and ammo.

now I have to make an appointment and usually all lanes are full

Yes, I see that it is a fast growing sport in Poland.
And with 72 gun manufactures in Poland to lobby for gun ownership Poland should soon be a top competitor in the Olympics as more youth being encouraged to get involved in the sport.

65% wouldn't want to own a gun

Then that is their personal right and they shouldn't.
Those percentages are changing quickly however for those law abiding citizens that do.

How many branches of police are there in Poland and what are their authority.
Do the village Policja have the same authority as say the State Policia ?

Actually they have came out with ammo that has gas chemicals in it that incapacitates instantly on impact without killing the person.
No doubt Poland will find these most helpful in subduing scum in a non lethal manner.
I will be buying this ammo when it becomes available to the public which will be any day now.

Law / Polish Police and Their Tactics [230]

Thank you I.S. as you stayed on topic of my questions, didn't belittle other posters or America like our pet trolls did.
I gathered then that if an individual had a gun and attempts to point it at a Polish police officer that he would be shot.

That is good.
Now, what do the Polish police do when someone refuses to drop a weapon after several commands to do so.
We all know that you have to be very close to a person for a taser gun to be effective.
Getting that close to someone wielding a sharp weapon could put the police officer's life in extreme danger.
The guy tells the police to F.O. and refuses to follow the police officers orders still wielding a weapon and starts walking back into his house where his family is.

Then what would the police do ?

Is that what the Police in Poland do is call a social worker when a pre-teen is out on the streets at 2:30 a.m. shooting a gun at passing cars ?

For some reason I think the Polish Police would handle such a situation in the same manner as any other country would or am I wrong ?

Law / Polish Police and Their Tactics [230]

I would be interested to know what tactics a Polish policeman would resort to say if you were holding an illegal gun or if he told you to halt and you took off running.

What would he do if he ordered you out of your car and you refused ?
For the sake of keeping it simple he had no police dog and it was just you and him.
What measures would he take to defend himself ?

History / Can anyone from Poland tell me about Auschwitz and The Ghetto? [625]

Never again. Smart lady.

That's what I thought too but apparently some of the Polish people agree with her.......like most of them anyways.

They don`t leave coz the conditions back in their country don`t allow it.

I thought Israel allowed all jews to enter their mother country.

History / Can anyone from Poland tell me about Auschwitz and The Ghetto? [625]

Three people resigned from Auschwitz museum board over appointment of right-wing politician.
Beata Szydlo faced backlash in 2017 when she appeared to defend her conservative anti-migrant policies during a memorial observance at the former Nazi death camp. She said that "in today's restless times, Auschwitz is a great lesson showing that everything must be done to protect the safety and life of one's citizens."

She later denied that her highly-criticized remarks were about refugees.
Can any of you Poles here tell me why such remarks would be criticized even if they were about refugees ?

So you admit that you 'invent' things that you post here which are not actually true.
One of the superstitions I remember was that my babcia told me was that you never to count the pierogi while they're still boiling.

All that did was make me sure to count them. lol

I used to have a chaffeur to drive me to various workplaces

No wonder you never learned how to ride a bicycle.

Love / Polish Women Versus Your Local Women ? [289]

what is it about Polish women that makes them better than your local women?

Nothing is the correct answer.

can we discuss what are the positive and negative attributes of Polish women

Sure, the positive are that they are good cooks, if you like bland food, and keep a clean house.
The negatives are that they seldom smile, are very insecure, are very vindictive, wear a belt bigger then most men, have been instilled with traditions, never like to leave their families, very withdrawn, are stubborn, like to wear RED lipstick, are jealous of others accomplishments, easily wound up, don't know how to take a joke and the list goes on and on.

This is a useful discussion to try to help local women wise up to the global competition to prevent wretched loneliness in their old age.

To late............
Unfortunately Polish women would find it offensive instead of useful as they seem content with loneliness or any kind of excitement in their lives.
