Scott and Jayme Dodich of St. Clair Shores filed a class-action lawsuit last week in northern California against San Francisco-based Niantic Inc., Pokemon Company and the Nintendo Company, alleging the game illegally places Pokestops and PokeGyms on private property without permission, according to court documents...Plaintiffs soon learned that Defendant Niantic had placed a Pokémon Gym and at least seven Pokéstops on the park, and had placed Pokémon on Plaintiffs' property as well...The plaintiffs allege Pokemon Go users were "on our lawns ... looking right into our windows to catch a Pokemon." They claim they don't feel safe "sitting on our porch," and that users would hide in bushes until police would leave.

It's one thing to be in a public park but another thing hiding in bushes on private property and looking in people's windows. Another article said homeowners asked some to get off their property and were told to shut up or else. Doubt the a judge will hear this as they'd have to go after the trespassers themselves.

So you look on your phone to see things that aren’t there so you can catch the things that aren’t there.

Sure.

Jeff did that back in the fourth grade and they shipped him off to the special class.

Yep, Private Property should be.... eell, private. Property taxes not withstanding. And navigable water traversing private parcels.

Yet another great reason to ensure new Pokemon Go monsters are announced on Election Day this autumn!

Maybe that’s how Hillary can draw some in.

Make the venue of one of her rallies one of the Pokemon sites.

Ha!

That’s a photo of downtown Grand Rapids.
As silly of a thing it seems, I’d rather have my city be full of young* people doing that than what “teens” and “youths” in certain other cities seem to be into these days.
