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

Answer

Can a warning in a WhatsApp group be treated as a serious offence in Mallorca?

Yes. In Mallorca, even a message in a WhatsApp group can become a legal problem if it reveals an active police checkpoint or helps others avoid it. The fact that a message is shared privately does not automatically make it harmless. The key issue is whether it interferes with an ongoing enforcement operation.
