So I watched the video and it sounds like they were also using a website to determine where Pokemon were appearing. Reading the Vice article the quote "and that they were only monitoring a tracking application to catch mythical creatures" appears.
I mention this both because I find it interesting. The phone app will show you Pokemon nearby, but if you've caught the Pokemon before you can only see in your immediate area (the immediate area is wider for rural areas, but hardly enough). They also seem to know exactly where each Pokemon who pops up is, with more accuracy than you would get from the phone app and likely further away from where they were.
And the second reason is that, while the video proves plenty, I assume they were using their car computer to check a Pokemon tracking website. I would bet the start of this investigation came from checking the logs on that device.
At least tell us if it was a Shiny. Come on man.....don't skimp on the details of this Togetic.
Shiny Togetic wasn't available in the game at the time. (I had to look it up to be sure.)
Plus when someone gets a shiny, they aren't quiet about it.
Gotta catch ‘em all (thieves)
Cops: I sleep
Gotta catch ‘em all (pokemans)
Cops: real shit
Pokemon can't kick you in the nuts. I guess Nintendo removed it from the American version. /jk
Pieces of shit.
Can't wait to see this episode of The Rookie.
we love our police don't we folks
To be fair almost everyone used to play Pokemon go on the job.
Murder is acceptable, but ignoring a robbery and driving recklessly to catch a Pokémon is what really gets cops fired.
On camera. It's not the driving or pokemon catching, it's the embarrassment and extra work they've caused their managers.
Murder is acceptable, ruining the Chief's good mood is not.
Also, lol at this detail from the article.
But what star level was it?
Asking the real questions
Sadly in 2017 there was no star level appraisal system. Third party tools (might have?) existed at that time, but it doesn't sound like they used any.
A high level!!
