Fines for free-riding

Recently, the newspaper reported, that are used more and more new laws on traffic controllers with powers, I mentioned in the entry Fri. Harder to be stowaway. As it turns out, concerns, that investigators armed with new powers will abuse power, not yet confirmed.You can even see the opposite – passengers for fear of punishment, not only monetary but also mandate more aggressively trying to avoid shots. There are Information controllers for poturbowanych, who tried to prevent the escape gapowiczowi. Trying to escape more often too are before the courts imposing a fine pursuant to Article. 87and 87b and transport law. The fine imposed by a mandate by the police may not exceed 500 zł for each offense, but if punished refuses to accept the mandate, or the police immediately address the request to the court for punishment, fine may be increased to 5.000 zł for each offense. But this is not the only possible consequence of the offending conduct of stowaways. If one passenger during the flight controller violates integrity, at stake is not only responsible for the offense, but also criminal liability. Without a doubt, therefore,, If we happen to travel without a valid ticket, better to accept the penalty, than with such trivial cause engage in skirmishes, that may end up entering into the National Criminal Register.

To avoid the charge of supporting only one side 🙂 , also notices, not only that passengers can sometimes behave properly. Recently I came across the information, that one of the controllers threatened gapowiczowi object resembling a gun, suggesting, that perceived him in the knee (sic!). Of course, such behavior – if it is confirmed – must end up in court, because it fills the threat of a criminal offense punishable. We hope, that this case is an isolated, since vision threatening weapons inspectors may discourage many people to travel by public transport.

    Minister of Infrastructure determines the maximum penalty possible for the carrier's request for the lack of the ticket 50 times the rate for a single journey. At the same time Transport Law specifically treats the city of Warsaw, allowing the Council to define a fare and surcharges. Does this fact shows the possibility of charges in Warsaw for the lack of a ticket in excess of 50 times the price of single ticket?

  2. Paweł Judek Paweł Judek says:

    But it looks a little different 🙂 City of Warsaw is not treated differently than other cities. Art. 34to ust. 2 pr. wire. applies to the regular transport of persons in all municipalities, regional and county. Principles for determining the level of penalties where the municipal council shall adopt, county or regional parliaments. In the city Warsaw City Council adopt them because of Warsaw, so constructed that the local government system here. Each council can thus fix the, that the amount of the penalty exceeds 50 times the cheapest ticket. Minister of Infrastructure is therefore applicable only to such national transport. PKP.

    Well, It therefore seems, how come that the order for payment before the prescription, you will have to pay 🙂

    So much for Mr., bragging that the new law, and raised in Warsaw, so ticket prices, the ordinary citizen, honestly who works on his 1500zl, is to stop eating, live without electricity or zapierdalac a dozen / dozen miles a day on foot, I understand, from where I am (UK), prices for transportation are high, you ale za minimalna pensje, everyone can afford (at most you will not buy Ipod, or a new TV, after that the bus 07;32 arrives at 07;32, and not 08;00). As a man of the National Minimum, (or a little more), These pay for my music has Bieta ?

  6. Paweł Judek Paweł Judek says:

    From what I found in the online adult ticket for 3-months to 1-free zone 220 zł or about. 73 zł per month. This is not the amount of, which prevents the people who buy a ticket beneficiary worse. But even if they did, this is not a justification for driving without a valid ticket. Of course, in some situations it may be justified, but you can not assume, that if I can not afford a ticket, I have the right to ride for free.

    TrybunaÅ Constitutional grounds,, że art. 87b of the Act of 15 November 1984 r. Ã ¢ Â € Â "Transport Law violates Article. 41 paragraph. 1 in conjunction with. 31 paragraph. 3 Constitution.

    The challenged provision states, że a fine subject każdy podróżny, which at the time of ticket control is not left in place the controls until the arrival of the Police.

    The Constitutional Court held that this provision is unconstitutional, because it can force the surrender travelers even arbitrary, unjustified and inadequate to the existing situation commands controllers. The Constitutional Court held, that "free-riding" is not a new phenomenon or, or rare, and it is understandable desire of the legislator to its limit. Ticket inspectors are so inter alia, the right to be recognized (but without the use of coercive measures!) and surrender travel Police, firstly that there is a valid ticket, Second odmówiÅ, zapÅ,acenia należnoÅ> and thirdly you do not allow yourself ™ wylegitymowaÄ ‡; podróżny shots ™ you ... relationship is no obligation to remain in place ‡ control until the arrival of the Police.

On the basis of such a generally worded provision, fine may thus be unduly punished travelers caught by inspectors, so even those, who have not violated the law in force.

    To fine for each failure to command the controller as to remain in place controls disproportionately restricts personal freedom of citizens and raises the danger of abuse of powers by the controllers and their use for purposes other than the protection of property rights of carriers.

    And whether the law regulates transport, where the controller is obliged to carry out a ticket? I mean public transport ticket and a zeskannowanie after leaving the vehicle, at the bus stop.
