The court convicted the defendant of speeding 34 km/h over the 50 km/h limit in a built-up area and sentenced him to a 500 zł fine. The defendant argued he only exceeded the limit by 10 km/h based on his phone's GPS history, but the court rejected this claim as unsupported by evidence. The court relied on the consistent testimony of the police officer who used a laser device and official calibration documents to confirm the speed violation.
