Now you do not need to pay your official fines which are not quite official

According to Gazeta Wyborcza all the fines that have been issued on the basis of a ticket from state officials, such as the police, after September 28 are invalid. Lawyers claim that the public is not obliged to pay the fines. The issue began to be called into question after new fixed penalty tickets were introduced at the beginning of August. The new tickets were designed to save time by being based on carbon copies. However, the new documents had no space for a personal identify number, which is the only proof of the identity of a given person. The mistake was corrected by a Cabinet decision, which resulted in a new version of tickets, which were to have been issued from September 28. However, some delay crept in and the new version is still not available. Lawyers claim that as a result the old tickets, which are still being issued, are legally invalid so citizens do not have pay the speeding, or other fines issued on them. The Interior Ministry admitted that a mistake was made and that an investigation is underway. (Gazeta Wyborcza, p. 1) M.M.
