Drunk policeman crashed into a fence. Breathalyzer showed 1.5 per mille

A policeman in Poland caused an accident while driving under the influence, yielding a breathalyzer result of 1.5 per mille, but fortunately, no injuries occurred.

On the evening of February 15, a policeman from Międzyrzecz in the Lubusz Voivodeship was involved in an incident where he crashed his vehicle into a private property fence while under the influence of alcohol. The incident revealed that he had a blood alcohol concentration of approximately 1.5 per mille at the time of the accident. Thankfully, there were no injuries reported as a result of the collision. This event occurred during the officer's personal time, meaning he was off duty; however, this has not exempted him from facing repercussions. A police patrol arrived at the scene and arrested the officer, who now faces charges for driving under the influence and causing an accident. The case has been passed to the District Prosecutor's Office in Międzyrzecz for further legal proceedings. Additionally, a disciplinary procedure has been initiated against the officer, leading to his suspension from duties, and there are ongoing administrative steps towards his potential dismissal from the police force. This incident raises serious questions about accountability and the professional conduct of law enforcement personnel, especially regarding their behavior outside of duty hours.
