In Bosnia the demining charity Posavina Bez Mina are warning people to not play Pokemon Go in the many minefields that still exist in the country.

Personally, I think we should all encourage all the participants to go to Bosnia with the specific intention of playing the game there; in minefields! :thumb:

As long as players are aware that Google Ie the nsa and gchq now know your every move well done for giving away your privacy

You a player then? what I don't get about the 999 call is don't you capture all the same ones? how can someone steal your pokemon thing?

I tried it but at my age i don't want to be seen wandering the streets with phone in hand and a big smile on my face,.
As for google knowing my every move I stopped wearing my tin foil hat many years ago if they are following me they are going to get bored really fast.

They track that regardless of whether you've got location switched on or not.

If you're someone who keep location data on, have a look at Google Location History.

You'll be surprised to find a map of everywhere that phone has ever been.

Mine is only showing 4 places and is informing me location history is off - enable location history.

My crack deal was light so I just had to give them a call.

I just posted in another thread that i seem to be thinking the world has gone mad more the older i get.

A Pokemon Go player called 999 to report stolen Pokemon.

The emergency call was made at 11:15 BST on Friday, the day after the hit smartphone game was launched in the UK, Gloucestershire Police said.

The operator ended the conversation "swiftly" after giving "words of advice" about when it was appropriate to call 999, a spokesman said.

The game sees players search for digital creatures in real-life locations

Since its launch, its popularity has prompted a series of safety warnings, and reports of players finding themselves in dangerous situations.

Last week, a group of teenage boys entered an underground cave network in Wiltshire to search for Pokemon and got stuck 100ft below ground.

Police in Northern Ireland warned players to be careful while playing the game, and not to trespass on other people's property.

Nottinghamshire Police said it had received seven phone calls reporting "suspicious activity" in the past week, but it turned out to be people hunting Pokemon.

Three students were robbed at knifepoint while playing the game in Manchester, while Greater Manchester Police warned the app may alert predators to where children are planning to be.

In South Yorkshire, a group of players were praised after they alerted police to a burglary taking place at an industrial estate in Doncaster on Sunday.
