Opinions/experience about the Polish Police

Sadek:
I think average is about 1200 PLN -2500 PLN netto (bad) now I think they will get more. They have a lot of different bonuses so it is better than it looks but maybe here is the problem because people in comerce earn much better money ...

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

Michal: Maybe I could use them to tie up the hands of some of the female Forum members?!! Blinks ... Mind you, the uniform they wear can put you in mind of that anyway. Not so easy in the UK with the helmet ... ukpolska: Michal your sadist fantasies, should be well kept to yourself, please don't creep the female members out!! 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.

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 :(
