Nice. I have unlimited data but my wife does not and she plays, so she is pretty excited.

Those kids got lucky that they didn't get shot.
But on a side note, 19 and 16.... ... (16 will get you 20....)
Too bad the guy missed. I can assure you that if I wake up to people on my property playing the pokemens, I'll shoot to kill.

Kids caught several at the Geneseo post office.

I live on a tiny cul-de-sac. If you are parked in front of my yard in the street (and not one of the neighbors' cars), you are close enough to my property that I will assume you are doing something wrong. Zero reason for anyone to be in front of my shit at 1:30 a.m.

There is no reason to be on a public street at 1:30am?

Not where my house is (waaaaaaay back at the very end of the end of the street). If it were someone who lived around there, I would recognize them. Anyone else would be instantly suspicious to all in the neighborhood (and would be breaking the law, guaranteed.) The last time someone was "in a public street at 1:30 am" they got caught breaking into cars, and lo and behold. the rash of car break-ins suddenly stopped.

I'm terrible with directions and maps. I've been the guy who is parked on an unfamiliar street at 1:30am (and later) trying to figure out the GPS on dead-end roads, in Rochester no less, so I know there are plenty of reasons for people to be parked on a road early in the morning. It's fine to be suspicious but the use of deadly force doesn't make sense in this context, even the car break-in example wouldn't warrant deadly force.

So this is pretty messed up.... but I had to post it..

No matter how bad you are with directions, if you ended up in front of my house in the middle of the night, you deserve to both get shot at and lose your license, because you'd be at the dead end, off the dead end, off the dead end, that's past the "No Outlet" sign.

Your opinions on how I should do things on my own property will never have any effect on how I actually do things.
-
After some thought, it would be way more fun for me to aim for the tires, then the ankles and knees, so I could enjoy the pained screams of the trespassers, trapped, with no way to escape except the back of the police car that would be en route. Remember, I live in GA, where shooting someone on or near your property is A-OK.

You're free to do what you want on your property... but the public street next to your property is, by definition, not your property. I could understand shooting someone for entering but parking on a street? That makes no sense and in most places, except apparently Florida, Georgia, and Texas, would be very illegal.

If you are shooting someone in defense, it should only be if they pose an immediate threat to you. It shouldn't be "Oooh! someone's near something I own. Time to kill 'em!" That's not a defensive mentality.
If I'm lost, or having car troubles. I like dead end roads. They are low traffic and out of the way of the majority of people. Leaving more time to get your route set, fix your issue, or get a tow truck. Then people that live there are generally more observant of traffic, and if they see a car sitting there, they usually go speak to them, not shoot at them, to see what's going on.

And you would end up in jail for 1st degree murder as you have obviously premeditated killing someone, of no threat to you, on public property.

You take things too seriously.... try adjusting your sarcasm detector.

I know it's sarcasm, but a local guy here killed a kid who thought he was at his friend's house. They were knocking and trying to get it, so the guy shot him. He's jailed for murder. Unrelated, but kinda shows you how the law works...at least in MA

That is like a week old article already.
And the official answer is that Niantic can easily remove Stops and Gyms. They have a process for it in place already. The business owners simply have to fill out the paperwork and then hope that Niantic decides to remove them. There was a big dustup in St Louis at the Jefferson Barracks Cemetery years ago when some veteran worshipers decided that they were offended that people played ingress there. They informed the people in charge of the cemetery who then submitted all the paperwork and had every single portal within the grounds removed.
So the Stops and Gyms will be potentially removed.
The other part is wild pokemon. Since the game is based on Ingress and Ingess used energy called XM to power your weapons, XM distribution was based on Google location awareness. Basically they used all of the data Google had to know that android phones were in certain locations and based on how many the level of background XM was set. So you could look at the map and know that at some time in the past XX years there were multiple android devices with location tracking enabled in some houses.
Based on only playing the game for a couple hours, I can only assume that the chance of appearance of wild pokemon is tracked to the amount of XM that areas had in Ingress.
All of that said, there was never an instance of XM being removed from Ingress as far as I am aware. So adding in code to remove spawning of Wild Pokemon based on boundaries will probably have to be added.
