A DUI Suspect Stopped While Playing Pokemon Go

Even people who are far from being fans of gaming, were incredibly hyped with the launch of the mobile Pokemon Go game. This game featured “added” reality – it was basically integrated into real life and you were required to collect all 142 Pokemons, while scavenging around and exploring the real GPS map with all those creatures on it.

With that said, it was first considered a great idea – after all, even people, who were not particularly enjoying long walks, were finally going outside, interacting with other people and having fun. Still, nothing is perfect and Pokemon Go has its own flows as well. Chances are, you heard about some cases, when robbers were using the app in order to lure in more potential victims.

Well, while it may be a fun game, it is a pretty dangerous one as well – that much is certain. Too many people all over the country and worldwide were losing their minds and neglecting even the most basic safety precautions while playing that game. Some of them were literally walking into the upcoming traffic while playing, others were falling down the cliffs, since they never paid attention to where they were going.

Still, one way or the other, some of the drivers were the ones, who demonstrated the most ridiculous behavior. Think about it – some people were actually using their smartphones while driving in order to catch those Pokemons literally on the go. Such disregard demonstrates that smartphones are a whole lot smarter than some people out there. Just look at where such behavior got them – two people drove off the cliff, another guy simply went over the border and was arrested by the border patrol officers. Some guy even managed to hit a parked police vehicle. When he got out of his car, he was waving his smartphone and cursing the day he started playing Pokemon Go.

Moreover, some people go as far as drinking alcohol and playing Pokemon Go while driving. As if driving under the influence of alcohol was not enough – these guys just want to make sure that they will provoke an accident or will be arrested. To think that some people are placing a silly mobile game above their very own safety as well as the safety of others around them – it is pretty difficult to comprehend indeed.

Still, Pokemon Go is popular right now as well and it is very important, if you are a fan of this app, to make sure that you forget about it at least while you are driving. Regardless of how rare of a Pokemon you may be hoping to catch and how skillful you wish to be at this game, do not place it above your well being as well as the well being of others around you. One way or the other, it is simply not worth it and even if you are not going to hurt anyone, you can still get in a whole lot of legal trouble.
