Open questions the AI reported
- The police page gives only its publication date of 2 November 2026 and no separate day for the roadside stop or home search, so that date is used as the incident date.
- The small amount found on the driver was not weighed and the home amount is given only as over 20 grams, so figures record 0.02 kg as the stated minimum and exclude the unweighed roadside amount.
- The police gallery photo caption repeats the headline and does not describe the image content, so whether it shows this seizure could not be established and no media entry is added.
- The Info Józefów account cites the Otwock police as its source and adds no independent weighing or case outcome.
