The Truth About Safety in Poland... (Our unfiltered thoughts)

[@kinetickennons]

What's your opinion on rental lscooters? Am I the only one that hates them?!

[@michu1247]

I am from Poland I never used one of them but i don't see them as dangerous.

[@rkobojcz]

Scooters and bikes are the most dangerous for own drivers. When laying somewhere on pavements or lawns they are just things... normal people should not be afraid about things as they cannot attack anybody. They make some mess... but life is a kind of mess we should cope with 😉 Soma people use and need them. My freedom is not limited by them and I do not intend to limit other people choices... here you are the Polish view on the topic.

[@albertalbiala1053]

As a Pole, I will write this to all you foreigners. We Poles live very well without you in Poland. That's why Poland is so safe because there are no foreigners, we are only Poles, a single-ethnic nation. We Poles and our Poland do not need your standards, slavery, beliefs, decadence, racism, xenophobia, you and your blood. For so many years we have lived without you and as life has shown you can and should live without you, we do not need you for any happiness, nor to make us happy with your presence in Poland. You have your countries, you create your reality there and sit there as you sit and as far away from Poland as possible because it is because of you that if you all settle in Poland, Poland will lose its uniqueness, becoming a country like yours with your problems with your dangers with your style and way of life, we Poles don't want that, it's your problem and your world, which you have created for yourself, it's not our Polish and I want you to know about it.

[@notbovvered]

These scooters are ubiquitous here where I live in Germany. Wherever you look there are dozens of them just lying around on the pavements blocking the path, hidden in the bushes or just ditched damaged in the forest behind my house and neither the authorities nor the companies that own them seem to care. My clean and safe neighbourhood turned into a scooter scrapyard because of it 😅

I am Polish and I am not afraid to leave the house in the evening. I always felt safe. I don't know how you can be afraid to go out for a walk in the evening? In my neighborhood, in the summer, older people walk late. They often go out with the dogs and to talk to the neighbors.

[@agnieszkalesniewska2268]

​@@kalebind1W Polsce praktycznie nie ma takich enklaw tzw "złych dzielnic". Chuligańskie wybryki zdarzają się, owszem, ale ostatnimi laty rzadko i mogą mieć miejsce wszędzie, nie tylko w jakichś zaułkach. Ostrożność nigdy nie zawadzi. Nawet warszawska Praga, np Pelcowizna, czy tzw Dolne Miasto na Czerniakowie, to już normalnie cywilizowany świat. Tzw "zaprawy" (typy spod ciemnej gwiazdy, pijący denaturat, to już rzadko spotykana egzotyka). Napływ uchodźców z Ukrainy najbardziej zaniepokoił tereny przygraniczne, okolice Rzeszowa, Przemyśla itd. Ludzie są różni, wiadomo, zdarzają się tam niebezpieczne sytuacje, jakieś napady, czy gwałty, lecz nie ma to charakteru masowego. Ogólnie Ukraińcy dobrze się integrują, nie ma z nimi większych problemów. Ja bardzo często muszę wracać do domu późnym wieczorem, komunikacją miejską, głównie metro i SKM, mieszkam na obrzeżach Warszawy. Nigdy nie czułam się zagrożona. Dosyć dużo ludzi jest do bardzo późnych godzin, chociaż metro mocno się wyludnia. Polska faktycznie jest jeszcze bezpieczna. Mam porównanie, bo też dużo podróżowałam po świecie.

There are very obvious signs of overall safety in Poland like: - complete lack of Policemen on the streets (especially with long riffles)!!! I mean you can see them sometimes here and there (especially Municipal Policemen) but there are no routine patrols ANYWHERE (like in Belgium France Sweden), which really means that there are nearly no crimes on the streets. - complete lack of bars on the windows (with some exceptions with old buildings having more than 40-50 years... bars are from that time) - I was shocked in Sevilla seeing bars on the windows everywhere including 10+ floors buildings in the top & middle floors windows!!! - single women walking alone during late night hours on the streets and even parks, - young kids, even under 10 years old, walking alone to schools/shops or spending the time on playground fields

[@allthis701]

I remember when visiting Rome I was shocked that there were actual soldiers in the metro, on special outposts, with assault rifles in their hands. The metro itself was also so damn dirty and overall felt really dangerous.

[@paulinakowalska3601]

I'm polish student. When we went to the school trip to Rome and few months later to London teachers had to tell us all the time to watch out on the Pic poceters especially in the metro. For us it was more than absurd that we can be robbed. I still remember how obsessive we got over our bags there and how all of us was stressed outside the hotel bc of it (range of age was 17-19 during these two trips)

[@Pawel_Mrozek]

In the security category. Which, as a Pole, I noticed only after watching many films about Poland by people from outside my country. In Poland, when someone is looking for an apartment, they never take into account whether the area is safe. Nobody thinks about it. It is important whether it is close to the center, whether the surroundings are pleasant, whether it has various amenities and good communication. Nobody thinks about whether it is safe. Everyone assumes everything is just normal. Various places may look a bit sketchy if they are poor, but despite their appearance they are not dangerous. This is also one of the reasons why, as a Pole, sometimes when I am abroad I go to places where I shouldn't and I don't even know it. ;)

[@martinjiranek5915]

I'm Polish and I lived in London for almost 5 years and I must say Poland is ultra safe compared to that place. I was shocked that girls are afraid to come back home at night on foot because this is a common thing in Poland. Krakow was a bit more dangerous a good few years back because of the rivalry between two football clubs, but that's not the case now. Overall, I'd say Poland is really really safe even (or especially) compared to other EU countries. PS. Greg could you please apply for the Polish citizenship and then take part in the presidential election? To hell with scooters!

But since I think 2005 Poland started to be the real Poland again. And now I feel great here. :) I lived in many countries (Ukraine included for an about half a year) and I can really say that here I feel like nowhere else.

I come from a small town (about 10k people) in Poland. I lived in the UK for 3 years, and by coincidence in a very similar small town. It was lovely, and I have a lot of nice things to say about it, but in the local newspaper there was a stabbing or a violent beating every few weeks. I've also seen more incidents of people streetfighting with my own eyes than in the rest of my life in Poland. In my home town a guy was stabbed once during a big festival, a medical helicopter came for him and we were still talking about it 5 years later. That being said it is still very possible to face a football hooligan looking for a fight, drunk and high on amphetamine in Poland, so don't lower your guard completely and try to avoid these people.

[@petetomaszek4273]

We just got back from Warsaw and are visiting Krakow this fall. Everyone questioned our thoughts on the war before we left. And our answer was the same. If Poland is invaded its ww3. And no matter where you are, you are in it. We love Poland and its people and can not wait to visit again.

Your opinion about security in Poland is accurate, but we Poles don't think about it every day, but what we have in mind is not what Russia will do because Poland has had bad times many times, but what NATO will do when Russia attacks Poland, because once we had guarantees from England and France during World War II and only they watched as Germany occupied Poland and after the war they sold Poland under the influence of Russia. Such guarantees were given to Ukraine, which signed with the USA, England and Russia on the inviolability of borders for giving Russia its nuclear arsenal and Russia occupied Crimea in 2014, which is why Poland is not sure about NATO and for its peace of mind and not to escalate the nuclear conflict, it will not give Poland to Russia.

[@ShivaaShukla29]

[@coffe3]

I'd say that we Polish people are just as afraid of foreigners as you foreigners are of Poland or Polish people. There were many people coming from other countries past few years to Poland and the effects are still difficult to rate. For me, in Kraków drunk Brits feel just as threatening as drunk Poles, in my opinion it would be perfect that they just stay drunk in a bar and then calmly come back to apartment. I went to Prague twice I've never felt threatened but a few gazes made me feel uneasy, especially at a main train station. I've never felt that in Poland so I'd say it's relatively safe compared to rest of Europe. Advice: the faster you assimilate to the Polish way of living the safer and more confident you will be feel.

I'm Polish, from Krakow, but living in Seattle, WA since 2002. I visit Krakow regularly (every 1-2 years). And, at first, I had the same sentiment about scooters, not only because they zip crazy fast around pedestrians, but also because people riding them don't wear helmets. But, in a week we stayed in Krakow alone (and typically 4-5 weeks in Poland) we had zero incidents. I feel like people who live in America are used to much higher safety margins. People in Europe are used to lower safety margins. It's almost like risk management. I'm sure these scooters do bump into pedestrians and these experiences are not pleasant. But they are very rare. Or, it's like - you do cross the road from time to time, right? Every time you do it, you take a huge risk. But you're used to it and it's not a big deal. Make sense?

People do not file their complaints as they do not see the point as local authorities including police (Garda) pretend that nothing is happening. Poland is on opposite site. Stats looks good and you can feel that stats are not lying. It's very safe. City, commuters, entertainment, pubs. You go out and enjoy yourself. But it took years of efforts of whole society, authorities and everyday people who are honest and do not tolerate any antisocial behaviour.

I live in Warsaw and safety is not a concern for me. I love Warsaw ❤

[@ursula2303]

I live 1h drive from Ukrainian border and still I feel safe 😊 Yeah those people on scooters its the most dangerous gang... you have to watch your back 🤪

I agree about scooters! Nice couple ;) Regards from Gdynia

Poland was always safe

[@janjanczyk1326]

True

[@Zagajnik]

Not always and not everywhere. I'd mention here Gdańsk during the martial law and in the 90's. The Jaruzelski regime released much evil among the people here, and (un)human scum was in charge in many places.

The most dangerous thing in Poland is scooters using the pedestrian roads. They're going at full speed and passing you just inches away. That's my biggest concern

What if we were compared to highschool shootouts? Plese advise how many poles in Ukranena-Russian war died compared to USA students in last 2 years.

Weird. It’s almost like the less “diverse” a country is, the more safe you are.

Well, because this is how lack of cultural clashes really works like. know it's not popular topic to discuss in political correctness dominated public discourse but yes, cultural homogenity has it's positive sides such as sharing the same core values, making behaviours of strangers more predictable and having less of various social conflicts, so yes, the more uniform the society, the safer it probably is.

Do you have a thing in your countries, where big crimes are talked about on radio in news segments? Usually they have to be pretty big to make it into news - especially in more than local stations. Well, couple of weeks ago I've listened to news on RMF-FM radio (which is biggest station in Poland with 40% of listeners). Want to know what was the crime of the day in a 38 million country? A guy broke into a greenhouse, stole 300 kilos of bell peppers, then got apprehended when he was loading the loot into his car. I love my country! 🤣😍🌶

interesting, Krakow is currently the Tower of Babel, in Kazimierz you will hear most of the world's languages

Miło, że odwiedziliście Kraków i Polskę. Zapraszamy. Jeśli czujesz się tak samo jak w Dallas, super - ja też (nigdy nie byłem w Dallas). Trzeba pomagać Ukrainie, skończyć z Rosją na kilka pokoleń (o ile nie na zawsze) - wówczas będzie dobrze - i dla was i dla nas.

[@pawel_tips911]

Compare to US in PL is safety, no guns around, no active shooters.

[@robertlulk]

No rapers

[@kokurtek]

Poland is safe. Especially homicide and robbery is no big deal. Ripping of tourists with prices, perhaps pickpockets or steaking stuff which is unattended, but less then other regions in Europe. Locals will often warn you but often exaggerated. Live in Wawa for 13 years; once a bike was stolen -thats it...

[@MrTekeshi]

Why people make so many films about safetiness in Poland? Was it ever questioned by anyone?

Great 👍 video my friends!!!

Poland has a border with Ukraine and Russia. Both of these countries are neighbors of Poland.

[@SonicHomicide]

So?

[@lostbeerman]

Me and the old woman rented scooters in San Antonio Texas it was the most fun we had in years the unsafe part is people that are walking in the street out in front of the scooters They shouldn't be allowed to walk in the street.

[@arnaldoqueiros5873]

I think safety is relative. I grew up in New York City and there are places there that I would not even go during daytime. I'm sure there are other cities in the US that have some pretty dangerous places, no matter what the safety percentage per 100,000 is. Ditto for Mexico and probably Canada too. You grew up or lived in a city for a while you know exactly where the dangerous areas are. And in Poland, and Europe in general, there is a memory of being invaded or bombed during World War 2 so it is natural, especially for older folks, to be more aware of what is happening in Ukraine. Just don't start a war because of scooters please!

[@marek7641]

There are no places in Poland you’ll get killed. There are no “bad places” during daytime or nighttime

[@NathanSmith-ng7xf]

I have visited Poland on numerous occasions and have never felt safer.❤️🇵🇱

Kraków is not different than any other polish city/town when it comes to safety. You can feel safe in general wherever you are. Enjoy your stay, have a great time (:

This 0.7 is also very iconic number in Poland, coincidence?

If you cross the magical barrier of 0.7... it can indeed be a bit dangerous :)

[@aniaa2151]

Lol

[@marlajacques6947]

Would be interesting to see the other rates of crime other than homicide. And being a female, the assault numbers are a concern when I’m out by myself. In my old neighbourhood in Canada, in 1 yr there was 4 violent assaults on women in a mile radius by different perps. Was considered to be a nice neighborhood! Canada is a violent country imo

[@yaneyobe3147]

Just a comparison, Poland’s violent crime rate is nearly 5 times lower than in the UK

[@marlajacques6947]

@@yaneyobe3147 wow, thank you!

[@marek7641]

Girls can alone walk home from parties at night and nothing will happen

[@grzegorzach3891]

The problem with assaults is that the percentage of cases which are reported to the police varies a lot between countries (so. eg the numbers in Somalia might be lower then in Switzerland) - while homicides are generally registered 100% everywhere. That being said - Warsaw nowdays is super safe, compared to other European cities (there are no "no-go" areas even if you are a single woman walking at night). This was not the case in the past, and eg. in early '90, violate crimes were a norm.

[@baha3alshamari152]

4 sexual assault incidents in 1 mile radius per year is very low and safe place actually You don't know how lucky you are

[@cathulhu3772]

30 years ago you had to be aware where you are and there was high probability of being fd up just for being from a "wrong" district. It was actually fun! I myself or with friends made an excursions to other districts just to have a fight. :D Good times!

[@andyfr4072]

[@Trebbell]

Pretty much spot on...if the Ukraine Russia conflict move into NATO borders then where you are is irrelevant. Now ignoring any type of world war 3 scenario, being Polish (born there but lived in USA my entire life, always visited family in Poland every summer), I never had any concern about safety. I actually went to highschool there for a year and traveled Warsaw alone.

[@jeanvonestling7408]

Interestingly, whatever the statistics were, 30 or 25 years ago it would be the spidey sense aspect that would be really bad. General darkness, dirtyness and sadnass covered especially Kazimierz but also many other parts of Kraków.
