This is the latest idea of the government to fight niepłacącymi subscription. However, the Ombudsman has serious doubts that the postmen to control our apartment is nienaruszenie of our constitutional rights.

Government to trash the idea of audio-visual fees, doliczanej in the bill. On it then everyone should pay for public television and radio, regardless of using them or not.

Changed it back, so to ideas on how to improve collection of the subscription fee, which is still in force in Poland. The seal system was the equipment of postmen with the powers of management. Postmen armed IDs was to visit, especially those who recently wyrejestrowali receiver or never registered. In practice, however, control can be expected of each.

If the postman decides that someone has the TV, not paying subscription fees, it may punish such person with a penalty. It can reach 30 monthly subscription fee, so if “in ” exposure”, then waiting for that person are about 681 UAH.
