The number of accidents in accidents has decreased
In turn, the “It’s about life” campaign has been running since 2019. Activists have four demands. As indicated by everything that has already been introduced – the first solution for the first, which were introduced in 2021 along with the second postulate – to master the speed in built-up areas up to 50 km / h day and night. Actions were taken which in many cases contributed to accidents in drawing for contractors.
Moreover, the Sejm voted to increase the number of seats for misdemeanors. Currently, one of them is being processed in the Senate. Increase of speed tickets to the third postulate of the campaign. The highest speed ticket has not been issued since 1997. It amounts to PLN 500. – For these changes to happen, social was needed. Therefore, through our activities, we wanted to provide psychological services for pathological behavior in installments. – says Maciej Saja, an activist at MJN, quoted in the communication.
Mencwel: mutual police intimidate me
One of these activities was social speed measurements, assistance by activists in late 2020 and early 2021. Such a social measurement of earnings, among others in Aleje Ujazdowskie next to the Chancellery of the Prime Minister. It only took half an hour to keep two drivers driving 100 kilometers per hour in advance. In July, we informed on tvnwarszawa.pl that the action was reported to the police.
During the conference conference on Thursday, Jan Mencwel, an activist from MJN, as well as the former president of the association, who co-organized the measurements, reminded about it. – The Warsaw police departed from me and they had to interrupt our actions that carry out repairs, how ineffective this unit is. They are commissioned by PiS councilor Marek Borkowski, who led us to our happening. At the same time, they ignore medical calls and appeals, good road safety – said Mencwel.
I added: – After almost a year, when the geography of me for two interrogations, the police brought the case against me to court. She did, despite the fact that our happening had two effects: it made it possible to be released at the sight of our speed camera and she managed to publicize the common problem of breaking the rules. The activist has it that he is a “victim of a witch-hunt” who “intimidates” so that he no longer criticizes the police.
The last postulate
MJN reminds that the last postulate has been established to be implemented: Effective enforcement of regulations. Activists informed that, according to the highest data of the Audit Office, as much as 60 percent of road fines in Poland are not enforced. “Proceedings for the archaic Code of Petty Offenses of 1971 are generally proceeded, and above all ineffective,” they stated.
