Police in safety vest said that he had the right to do so

Our reader recorded a police car in Gdynia when he was controlling speed while standing in a stoppage place. Police officers in reflective uniform say they were allowed to stand there because they were doing their duty, which meant that “there was an out-of-court counter-offender for the offense.”

 

Our reader registered an unregistered police car on Friday morning when traffic policemen controlled the car radar driving down the street. Flyers see the map of Gdynia in Gdynia.

– Do not the police have traffic regulations? – With such a question he sent us a film.

What about the police? – The actions of the uniformed officers of the road traffic department consisted in controlling the speed. Officers had reflective vests and used a tagged police car. Speed ​​control belongs to the statutory tasks of the police, aims to protect life and human health as a priceless good – explains Michal Ruska from Gdynia City Police Headquarters.

 

He points out that in recent months there have been 19 accidents in the city, caused by excessive speed. One person was killed and 22 others were injured.

– The activities of the police officers should be interpreted as a non-partisan counter-offense in respect of the exercise of their right or duty. The speed control location has been selected in such a way as not to expose the remaining road users to any danger, Ruska explains.

 

But there is some reflection. The stop sign was set because someone thought stopping at this place was dangerous. Does the parked police car in this place such a danger to traffic does not cause? And would the driver who would be detained by the police in this place also not threaten the traffic? As traffic officials in safety vest say two cars on a stoppage do not pose a threat, then maybe the sign of the ban is unnecessary?

 

The police in safety vest intervenes the fuss

The animal defenders interrupted the Christmas hunt in Forest. Between them and the hunters there was a fuss. The police in safety vest and municipal guard intervened.

 

Hunters scheduled a Saturday morning meeting. Earlier, they had made all the required approvals and arranged the announcements in the area, informing them that hunting would be held in the forests. It was suggested to limit walks to the forest and exercise extreme caution.

Knowing the event, the activists called “I do not give a hunter’s hand,” dealing with animal defense, stumbled on one of the popular social networking sites willing to thwart hunting. Interest was great.

 

On Saturday morning, representatives of “I do not give a hunter’s hand” with an anarchist group, dressed in colorful, reflective vests, appeared in a place in the Forest, where it was to hunt.

– Instead of hunters under the forester’s lodge Macho waited for forest guards and police, but ignored our presence. They hung up the pages of another fake gathering site, the activists say.

 

– We have already received information on where to go hunting. That’s why we put our patrols in the wilderness. Our actions came down to the fact that we informed people to move cautiously around the forest, “admits Refax, Commander of the Commune Guard.

 

Hunting was not there

Defenders of the animals were well organized. They kept informing themselves where the hunters were. And they have reached their goal.

“The people who helped us moved into the wilderness where they managed to meet and stop a few shooters. Then from other activists we were informed that a hunter gathering in the Anew hunting lodge is ongoing. We went to the place. There were about 25 people making it impossible for the hunter to land in the area – they brag on the social networking site.

 

The hunter was hardly in the taste. There was a fuss. The police and the local police were called in to resolve the dispute. There was indeed an intervention in the Forest. The policemen lobbied and instructed both sides. This was over, “the press office of the police told us.

 

A more detailed account is presented by Commander, who was in place.

– How we came all this was happening normally, people were calm, and there was no aggression. Apparently, before we came here, there was some sharp exchange of opinions. The police in reflective uniform heard both sides, but there was no reason to take any consequences. Everyone went their separate ways – ends the guard.

 

Enjoying the bike season with safety

In the vast majority of the country, snow has remained a mere memory, and in some parts of Poland one can enjoy several degrees of heat. So it is no wonder that for many bike riders the cycling season has already begun. The cops in reflective uniform also joined in the action, paying more attention to the two-wheelers. What must be equipped with a bicycle so that he can legally move on the road and what should be remembered when deciding on this means of transport?

 

Over the past few years, the popularity of bicycles – especially as an urban means of transport – has grown very dynamically. Not every bike that leaves the shop with a happy new owner, however, is adapted to the Polish regulations on the obligatory equipment of wheelchairs. In Warsaw, as part of the “Safe Cyclist” action, the police check that cyclists and riders are riding according to regulations and bicycle equipment. What can you get a mandate for?

 

In paragraph 53 of the Regulation of the Minister of Infrastructure, as amended in 2015, on the technical conditions of vehicles and the scope of their equipment, we must read that the bicycle must be equipped with at least one white or yellow front light, at least one non-triangular with reflective tape And one red positioning light at the back, at least one smooth brake, as well as a bell or other signal of non-repulsive sound.

 

What are important, regulations do not break those who ride bicycles without lights during the day. The same paragraph allows the possibility of dismantling the lights if they are not required at the time of use. At the same time, setting up a headlamp does not make it possible to drive at night in accordance with regulations. After dark, the light must be equipped with a bicycle, not a cyclist. Wearing a light and reflective vest on you does not mean that we will avoid a mandate in the event of a confrontation with the police.

 

Complaints about ME reflective uniform

It is adapted ME-uniform. The safety vest is replaced and the protection pieces exhalation is improved. To remedy the symptoms for heat problems is getting the riot modern thermal underwear and extra carrying instruction.

 

Police have the ME-uniform TNO examined after some riot was seized by the heat during exercise.
