Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe court convicted the defendant of driving a vehicle while his driving license had been revoked. Although the defendant claimed he believed he could drive after passing a control exam, the court found this reasoning insufficient to establish a lack of criminal intent. Consequently, the court rejected the defense of innocent ignorance of the law and imposed a daily fine for the offense.
Legislator headnote
AI generatedArt. 180a kk; Art. 30 kk: One cannot successfully rely on innocent ignorance of the law if the facts show the perpetrator deliberately avoided learning the applicable regulations despite having the opportunity to do so.
