retarded pokemon go player
Indonesian police say they have detained a French man who trespassed on a military base while playing the augmented reality game Pokémon Go.
A spokesman for West Java police said Romain Pierre, 27, was caught at a checkpoint on Monday evening after initially running away when challenged by security guards at the military complex in Cirebon.
Pierre was released a few hours later because it became apparent “he unintentionally entered the complex as he was hunting Pokémon while jogging,” the police spokesman, Col Yusri Yunus, said on Tuesday.
“Pokémon Go,” which uses Google Maps and a smartphone to overlay reality with Pokémon creatures, has been a blockbuster hit in the US and other countries where it is available. It has not been officially released in Indonesia but is already popular.
The cabinet secretary, Pramono Agung, told reporters last week he had captured a number of Pokémon at the presidential palace in Jakarta, the Indonesian capital.
The governor of Jakarta has said it could be used to boost tourism to the city. But some security officials have voiced worries that the game could pose a security threat.
"...the [GAMERS] could pose a security threat" sounds more correct. There are PokemonGo players who play wisely. It's really up to the individual to have some common sense.
I do think the idea of using the game to boost tourism is interesting though. There are already hotspots that attract gamers. If they're able to hook up a good hotspot, then the ship is good to go.
