AI generated

The court convicted the defendant of speeding and imposed a fine of 700 zloty after rejecting his defense that the radar measured a different vehicle. The prosecution presented police notes and equipment logs, while the defendant argued the device targeted a car ahead of him. The court found the evidence sufficient to prove the defendant was driving at 83 km/h in a 60 km/h zone and deemed the fine appropriate given his high income.
