Public Administrations Minister, Isabel Castro and Health Minister, Patricia Gómez have sent a circular to Local Police in the Balearics outlining the criteria of action and interpretation that the Officers must follow when they process complaints, said the Regional Department of Public Administrations & Modernisation in a statement.
Local Police in different Municipalities of the Balearic Islands must warn those who are not wearing a mask of the consequences if they don’t comply with the mandatory mask ruling but will not impose fines until July 20.
The document sent to Local Police includes the circumstances that must be stated to reflect the facts reported along with some fundamental criteria to help Officers determine what sanction is applicable, which could range from 25 to 100 euros, depending on the circumstances.
The reports issued by the Local Police from July 20 onwards must include, the name, address and ID of the person or persons reported, where the breach occurred and its characteristics, the number of people affected by the non-compliance and the circumstances in which it occurred.
They must also include "the exact answer given to the request, the persistence or not in the commission of the infringement and the possible refusal to comply, if applicable."
Police will also be required to include information about any repeat offenders.

I do not understand why it so difficult to make a regulation that is understood by all and not lost in translation. Surely everyone should wear a mask if they can not keep to the 2 metre rule, simple. Whether in the open or enclosed spaces. After all it does not need an IQ of 150 to realise that this is not just for the individuals benefit but others and passers by as we know you can be a carrier without symptoms.
Step by step our human rights and freedom is taken away from us. We are being brainwashed in this so called new normality. Wake up! Do you want to live in a police state?
Franco would be proud.
