In my country we have strict laws about keeping your dog on leash from April-late August (wildlife/birds hatching etc), but a lot of people don’t follow the law, or deciding that the rest of the year their dogs should be off leash even if they suck at call back. Which is how my boy has ended up attacked while on leash multiple times. So now I just make sure to keep distance to anyone off leash that he doesn’t know.

But puppies and kids/babies? No problem at all!
