AI generated

The court acquitted the defendant of charges for intentional property damage involving a car mirror valued at 903.61 PLN. The prosecution argued the defendant intentionally struck the mirror, but the court found no evidence of criminal intent, noting the defendant merely attempted to retrieve a dog he believed belonged to the victim. Furthermore, the court determined the damage value was so low that it fell below the threshold for criminal prosecution under the relevant statute.
