Police in Canada have released helicopter footage of a driver who was driving somewhat erratically as a result of reportedly playing Pokemon Go behind the wheel.
As you can see in the video, the driver of the Mercedes changes lanes liberally and stops seemingly randomly, then starts again slowly. This person was hunting down Pokemon, authorities from the York Regional Police force said. The incident took place in Vaughan on August 8 at around 3 AM.
"The helicopter followed the vehicle as it drove erratically, then stopped in a parking lot off of Keele Street. The vehicle then started driving again, entering a residential neighborhood where it stopped in front of a park," authorities said in the video's discription
"The car then started driving again making suspicious turns in the middle of the roadway. The vehicle was eventually stopped by police in the area of Saint Joan of Arc Avenue and Drummond Drive. Officers spoke with the driver who advised that he was just out to catch them all."

I see this all the time. I live within 1/2 mile of several stops. I dont even know how the game is played, but cars drive down the road swerving and driving very slow.
Just how long has Pokemon been around for? Seems like forever.
