Glosa do wyroku Sądu Okręgowego w Poznaniu ? IV Wydział Karny Odwoławczy z dnia 29 stycznia 2019 r. IV Ka 1173/18

Abstrakt

The gloss is devoted to the issue of the degree of social harmfulness of acts consisting in placing indecent words in a public place (Article 141 of the Code on Petty Offences). It should be emphasised that not every behaviour that fulfils the statutory features of that petty offence should result in criminal liability, and this is due to the possible lack of social justification for a criminal response. At the same time, it is reasonable to keep this forbidden act in the Polish legal system, because public morality and the purity of the Polish language are legal values worthy of criminal protection.
