Kierowca znieważył inspektora ITD... i skończył w KAJDANKACH! Sprawdzamy przepisy

An ITD inspector puts on handcuffs – is that even possible, since the Road Transport Inspectorate is not the police? In this episode of CplusE, we explain what really happened during an inspection in Zielona Góra, where a foreign tractor-trailer driver insulted inspectors and attempted to obstruct a road inspection, only to be overpowered and handcuffed by ITD inspectors. We answer questions that concern many drivers: can an ITD inspector use direct coercion? Is insulting an ITD inspector punished in the same way as insulting a police officer? What powers does a Road Transport Inspectorate inspector have during a road inspection? We explain the difference between the ITD and the police – why an inspector is a civil servant and not a uniformed officer, even though they wear a uniform and carry a service ID. We also examine the powers granted to inspectors by the Act on Direct Coercion and Firearms and the Road Traffic Law, including the right to check drivers' IDs, conduct sobriety tests, and issue fines. If you've ever wondered whether a road transport inspector can use physical force or handcuffs, this episode will clear up any doubts. 🔔 Subscribe to the CplusE channel so you don't miss future episodes about road traffic law and transport!
