The Polish Border Guard Service reported, “British citizens were fined 100 Zlotys [about $25]) for photographing the neighbouring side.”

According to the source, the incident was recorded by cameras in the area of Sępopol in the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship. As a result, Polish border guards stopped the Brits and fined them.

It is noted that the fine was imposed on the basis of the decree of the Warmian-Masurian Voivode of 2009, which prohibits taking photographs in the area of the Polish-Russian border.
