Kaczyński's driver is fined. specified ends the untouchable “dictator”

On Saturday, after a propaganda rally organized by the falling organization of the Law and Justice under the slogan “StopPatoPower”, there was an intervention of the service towards the car of Jarosław Kaczyński. This event immediately sparked a storm on social media, and its echoes echoed a wide echo in public space. Joachim Brudziński, 1 of the leading PiS politicians, reported on the incidental on platform X (formerly Twitter), stressing that Kaczyński's car had up-to-date method studies and the intervention was due to “too dark windows”.

Police intervention and a ticket for besides dark windows

The arrest of the president of PiS's vehicle was not accidental. As reported by the on-call Police Station Command, officers responded to a study regarding a vehicle that was not expected to meet the standards of light transmission through windows. As a result, the car driver was fined PLN 100. The police explained that this was not their initiative, but their consequence to an outside report.

The situation immediately became the subject of lively discussions, especially in the context of current political events and the pre-election atmosphere. Joachim Brudziński on his X account stressed that the intervention took place shortly after the end of the Justice Ministry rally, suggesting that the services operate under the control of political opponents – Donald Tusk and Adam Bodnar.

"There are the first results of our gathering present before the Ministry of Justice. “Smiling” service subordinate to Tusk and Bodnar stopped the car of the president of WIS Jarosław Kaczyński. Reason? It has besides dark windows. I will add that the car has up-to-date method tests," Brudziński wrote.

"StopPathpower" protest and political context

The protest under the Ministry of Justice organised by the Law and Justice was a consequence to the fresh activities of the services related to searches at the office of the independency March Association and at the home of his erstwhile president, Robert Bąkiewicz. PiS politicians considered this action an effort to intimidate and undermine the organization of the independency March, which has been controversial for years and has attracted the attention of the media and the public.

In Jarosław Kaczyński's opinion, these searches were intended to discourage the organization of the independency March and were an effort to delegalize it. The independency March Association, known for its nationalist character, was already the subject of criminal investigations during marches, including the 2018 events.

Glasses and regulations – method aspects

Although the incidental involving Jarosław Kaczyński's car has become a subject of political polemics, it is worth noting the method aspects that form the basis of the full case. The provisions for dimming windows are unambiguous – windscreens and side windows in cars must pass at least 70% of the light. besides dark windows can reduce visibility for both the driver and another road users, which increases the hazard of accidents.

The mandate of PLN 100, which was imposed on the driver of the vehicle, is simply a standard punishment for this kind of misconduct. Although Jarosław Kaczyński's car had up-to-date method examinations, this does not exempt the owner of the vehicle from complying with the existing rules on the visibility of windows.

Responses to the incidental – political and social tensions

The incidental involving Kaczyński falls within the broader context of the current political scene in Poland. The upcoming elections and the increasing tensions between political camps make every, even the smallest, intervention on the part of the services a subject widely commented on and analysed.

Law and Justice has for a long time stressed that the activities of services subordinate to the government led by Donald Tusk and another institutions are directed against their formation. In the context of the “StopPatoPowers” protest, police action against the PiS president's car is another argument in this narrative.

However, there are no shortage of voices critical of the full situation that indicate that the PiS is trying to make an atmosphere of a besieged fortress and presenting itself as a victim of the activities of institutions that actually carry out their regular duties.

Summary

The arrest of Jarosław Kaczyński's car and the imposition of a mandate for besides dark windows caused a media storm and became another component in the political conflict between the main camps. Although the method rules for tinting windows are clear, the incidental was rapidly drawn into political narrative, which shows how even insignificant interventions can become a trigger for larger disputes.

It is so worth remembering that specified events are not only a substance of road rules, but besides a reflection of a broader socio-political context in which all gesture, all mandate and all intervention are relevant.
