MALTA: Cop Ticketing Father for Allowing Son to Play on Street is 'Anti-Common Sense'
So I saw this on a local Facebook group today, and I can’t believe there’s a cop in Malta who actually gave a working dad a €40 ticket because his 8-year-old was kicking a ball near their own driveway. The officer said it was “obstructing footpath traffic.” Traffic? It was a Sunday afternoon with zero pedestrians for 20 minutes. This is the same Malta that wonders why kids are glued to iPads and obesity is skyrocketing. Maybe try enforcing real crime—like dangerous driving or the guy who parks on the zebra crossing every morning—instead of terrorizing families for letting their kids get fresh air. Absolute nanny state nonsense. Where’s the common sense? Go after the real issues, Malta, not the childhood memories.
