AI generatedThe court convicted the defendant of driving a motor vehicle while intoxicated and sentenced him to a fine of 50 daily rates, a three-year driving ban, and a monetary payment of 5,000 zloty. The prosecution argued that the defendant's behavior, characterized by high alcohol levels and driving erratically, constituted a serious social harm warranting punishment. The court upheld the conviction, noting the defendant's subjective awareness of illegality and lack of mitigating circumstances, while applying the agreed-upon sentence terms from the preparatory proceedings.
