Warnings about speed traps: When helpers become a danger — and what Mallorca must learn

Answer

What can happen if I forward a speed trap warning in Mallorca?

If you forward a real-time warning about a checkpoint or speed control in Mallorca, you could be exposing yourself to a fine or a criminal complaint under Spanish law. The possible penalties are serious, even if the original intention was only to help other drivers. The risk is higher when the message clearly helps people avoid an active police operation.
