The District Court in Bydgoszcz dismissed the defendant's appeal against a fine for failing to identify the driver of a vehicle he entrusted to them. The defendant argued that municipal guards lacked the authority to prosecute vehicle owners, citing a specific judicial interpretation, but the court rejected this claim. The court ruled that municipal guards possess public prosecutor powers regarding vehicle owners when they discover violations during traffic control, thereby validating the lower court's conviction and fine.
