    Offence of disseminating or publicly displaying content that may facilitate the commission of a terrorist offence (art. 255a § 1 of the Polish Criminal Code)
    (National Aviation University, 2021-02-26) Wala, Krzysztof
    Pursuant to Article 255a § 1 of the Polish Criminal Code, whoever disseminates or publicly presents content that may facilitate the commission of a terrorist offence with the intent to commit such an offence, shall be subject to the penalty of deprivation of liberty for a term of between 3 months and 5 years. Introduction of this crime to the Polish legal system in 2011 resulted from international agreements binding Poland. Currently, this obligation results from Directive (EU) 2017/541 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 March 2017 on combating terrorism and replacing Council Framework Decision 2002/475/JHA and amending Council Decision 2005/671/JHA (Official Journal of the EU.L 2017 No. 88, p. 6 - hereinafter referred to as the 2017 Directive).

    The petty offence of indecent misconduct under the polish law of petty offences (article 140 of the code on petty offences)
    (Вектор, 2020-05-16) Wala, Krzysztof
    Pursuant to Article 140 of the Code on Petty Offences, whoever publicly commits indecent behaviour shall be punished with custody, restriction of liberty, a fine of up to PLN 1,500 or the penalty of reprimand. This petty offence is included in Chapter XVI of the Code on Petty Offences ("Petty Offences against Public Morality"). Article 140 of the Code on Petty Offences had its equivalent in the earlier codification of the substantive law of pettyoffences, namely Article 31 of the Law on Petty Offences of 1932, which originally had the same wording as the current Article 140 of the Code on Petty Offences. It was subsequently modified in 1946 by adding to it the conduct consisting in the public use of indecent words (currently this behaviour is penalized in Article 141 of the Code on Petty Offences).
