Court acquits firefighter for traffic direction due to lack of clear command authority and evidence.

The District Court in Bydgoszcz acquitted the defendant, a firefighter, of charges regarding improper traffic direction and endangering road safety. The prosecution alleged the defendant issued commands to a truck driver, but the appellate court found the evidence insufficient to prove a clear, authoritative order was given. The court ruled that the defendant merely provided information, which lacks the mandatory character required for the crime of directing traffic.
