This Is What People Look Like Playing Pokemon Go While Driving

While one driver was out catching Pokemon in the middle of the roadway, police officers were trying to track down a Slowpoke behind the wheel. On Monday, police in a helicopter captured footage of a car making several suspicious stops and turns, only to find out the driver was playing Pokemon Go.

The incident occurred just past 3 a.m. in a neighborhood in Ontario, Canada. The helicopter followed the vehicle as it drove very slowly down a large road and briefly stopped in a parking lot and then in front of a park. Police later revealed the officers in the helicopter may have been concerned (rightfully so) that the driver was impaired or that a criminal act was about to be committed. Ground units were sent in to check out the scene, and amazingly, the driver got off with a warning and no charges.

Unless you’ve been living under a Golem or Geodude, you’ve probably heard about other dangerous road incidents involving Pokemon Go. One recent video showed a driver crashing into a parked police car while trying to catch Pokemon. Fortunately, it looks like you might be able to hire someone to drive you around while you play the game, though.
