Police with letters to another television. "We will definitely not release any recordings to this government"
The TV station wPolsce24 refused to hand over materials to law enforcement, citing insufficient legal grounds. Editor-in-chief Jacek Karnowski expressed concerns over police actions, calling them alarming and unprecedented in journalistic practice. He emphasized the station's commitment to protecting freedom of speech and media pluralism. The police had requested video recordings from a public gathering outside the Constitutional Tribunal, which took place in mid-October. The prosecutor also demanded materials from TV Republika related to incidents involving police and the Prime Minister during the protests. However, the request did not include electronic devices or documents protected by journalistic confidentiality.
