The court convicted the defendant of speeding and imposed a 300 PLN fine along with court costs. The defense argued for a new expert opinion regarding the laser speed measurement, claiming the beam was misdirected at the windshield rather than the license plate. The court rejected this request because the error was minor and did not affect the accuracy of the reading, finding no other procedural flaws to warrant a retrial.
