Because they are ashamed to be cops. I’m not surprised by them
They are ashamed to be cops in a Poland… current government is using them to its own advantage and not the way Police should be used… f Kaczyński…
Because Poland isn’t safe xD
To protect their identity from criminals and/or terrorists. Some maybe be working as undercover in different situations and some could be a part of special units like US SWAT. This is pretty common in other countries as well 🥷
Cuz it’s fucking cold, standing like that whole day
Because you are pointing a camera at their face. I don’t think it’s that complicated
People saying it’s for identity but in my opinion it’s a mental tactic.
By taking the face away you’re taking the human aspect away, therefore you’re not getting arrested by another man – it’s some autistic storm trooper instead. You’re more likely to comply if you’re afraid & no one is afraid of someone that looks like they got bullied in school.
Mgla’s day job?
Because they know that they are doing something they shouldnt and that’s their way to not be held accountable later and maybe, just maybe some small fraction of them is still able to feel shame.

Speaking of cops, I visited Krakow a few times and I saw that there are police cars without any markings (usually KIAs), only the blue light above. Is this all over Poland? And why?
Most officers of important rank or that take place in dangerous situations wear them to protect their identies and dont cause attacks on families/friends. Some of them wear them just because they look cool, and others for warmth in the winter. They can also be worn as a intimidation tactic against riots.
Cuz its freaking cold
Because it’s a shame to be a policeman in Poland.
They are afraid of legal action. If you carry unlawful orders you have to try and mitigate the consequences
Maybe to keep cold out of their face
Because, as you can see from comments, they are just doing their job and most of them are just OK people who want to go home after work and not worry about them or their families being attacked or threatened. And also it looks cool.
Polish cop here, can’t say for others but I wear the tube scarf mostly to cover from cold and also when we need to put on the white helmets we stretch it on the top of our heads., which you can also see in the photo. Those helmets are very often given to you after other police officers and for sure you dont want to be wearing someone’s sweat on your naked head.
I’ve met a policeman that was wearing a mask and when I asked him why he’s wearing it he just told me that he’s cold
Same reason as Russian cops
Policeman used to be amazing job in Poland. Then PiS arrived.
They’re ashamed to work for such a shitty government. Maybe next election hopefully.
Y’all, calm down. It’s cold outside, that’s it.
riot police covers, regular cops and city guard don’t
And why do you think a lot of the same policemen cover ID on their uniforms?
Thing with Police is like the thing with US, everyone loves to hate them but the world is still a better place with them. It’s almost childish in a way.
Becouse we don’t like them here and it’s cold af standing all day
There was a policeman who lead intervention that caused arrest and imprisonment of domestic abuser and (very) small time criminal from our neighbourhood. Son of this asshole and his friends tried to bully policeman’s daughter at school even few years later.
Watchmen reference
I think, they feel ashamed to be in police these days.
It looks cool. Also protects from weather a bit.
Wstydzą się później ludziom pokazać po tym, co im każą robić.
Co część z nich robi z nieprzymuszonej woli, to już inna bajka.
Because they are bandits
Becausw it is cold when you stand outside for prolonged period of time. Sometimes also for security reasons
So their families don’t know who they are and can’t disown them for being PiS pigs. Also so random people don’t spit on them in grocery stores.
Because they’re (rightfully) ashamed of being a part of this shit. ACAB
In Mexico Police cover their face because the cartel find their families and use them as leverage for extorsion
Initially i thought this photo is from Belarus, 2020, middle of the August protests… And only after ive read the title.
‘Cause they are about to do sth that they know they should be ashamed of.
Police in Poland has a lot of openings and no candidates. A lot of active officers quitting at first chance.
They have lost all public trust and respect in the last couple of years.
make yourself cool and not to freeze your face to death
So they can’t be identified when they hit people
“Jak to policman przeszukuje mnie, przecież mam prawo nosić to co chce”…..the song policeman by Jamal popped into my head lol
