Court dismisses fine for minor offense due to defendant's severe financial hardship and limited culpability.

The appellate court overturned a first-instance judgment imposing a 300 PLN fine on the defendant, A. T., while upholding his conviction for the offense. The defense argued procedural errors and factual inaccuracies regarding the alleged nuisance, but the court rejected these claims, finding the police intervention was a pretext for retaliation. However, the court granted the appeal on the penalty, ruling that the fine was disproportionately severe given the defendant's extreme financial destitution, limited mental capacity, and the incidental nature of the act.
