Problematyka uzyskania dostępu do notatek służbowych (urzędowych) funkcjonariuszy policji w celu wykorzystania ich jako środek dowodowy w procesie cywilnym

The issue of obtaining access to official notes of police officers in order to use them as evidence in a civil trialThe problem of obtaining access to official notes of police officers is an important practical issue, particularly in a situation where there is a need to use these documents in a civil trial. Such a document may constitute essential means of evidence in a civil trial, confirming the facts presented by a party to the proceedings. In practice, however, police officers do not always automatically provide access to the documents in question at the request of a party; therefore, the purpose of this article is to analyze the provisions under which a party may request access to such documents. The article examines the standpoint of the judicature, which indicates whether police officers are obliged to provide access to such documents to a party or third parties and whether such an action is consistent with the provisions of the GDPR as regards the protection of personal data.
