Malta Police Gives Snarky Messenger Response To Citizen Who Called Them Out For ‘Flying Car’ Inaction
The Malta Police Force has clapped back at a disgruntled citizen, and in quite a sarcastic fashion, after he questioned their inaction over a viral video of a car flying over the Santa Luċija-Tarxien roundabout.
Although the video clearly seemed like a case of over-speeding or dangerous driving, the police said they had investigated the case but ruled that charges shouldn’t be pressed against the driver.
“Kindly note that the police went on site and after all investigations were carried out, no breaches were found,” a police spokesperson told Lovin Malta. “Also, you may wish to note that no other vehicles were damaged.”
Following the publication of this article, a citizen messaged the police on Messenger to question how on earth the police came to the conclusion that the driver behind the wheel wasn’t breaking the law.
“Malta Police Force, you’re a joke,” he said brazenly. “So over-speeding and not slowing down at the roundabout who has a give way is not breaking the law??? By any chance, whats this guy’s job? A police officer?”
The police were initially coyly diplomatic, telling the citizen that he should pass on any information he has about the case, along with his personal details, for potential charges to be pressed against the driver.
The citizen said the driver was over-speeding, didn’t slow down when approaching a roundabout and was driving carelessly, but the police reiterated that he must pass on his personal details.
“Why would you need my details when you have a video as evidence and it is said that the police didn’t investigate this?” the citizen asked.
“We ask for your details in order to pass them on to the investigating officer related to this case in order to issue charges on evidence provided,” the police responded.
“How is the video not enough evidence?” the citizen questioned. “For a vehicle that holds a certain amount of weight to jump from one side to the other of a roundabout of a certain diameter, the vehicle has to be travelling at a certain amount of speed.”
“At no point did the car slow down or stop before exiting a roundabout. So was an investigation done on the case as stated in the article or not?”
The person behind the police’s Messenger account must have felt frustrated at this point, responding sarcastically: “In your expert investigation, did you consider vehicle malfunction or medical issues?”
The citizen then questioned why the police didn’t say so in its statement to Lovin Malta if that was the case, but the police merely sent a thumbs up and ended the conversation.
“It was quite weird,” the citizen told Lovin Malta about the conversation. “As a citizen, I have every right to ask these questions to these entities.”
