"I just got pulled over by three police cars and 2 undercover FBI cars for playing"
#PokemonGO: This just happened and I'm still shaken up. I was driving alone and stopped at a few local gyms and stops. I played the whole afternoon, most of the time was spent parked downtown where i stayed in my car reading and spun the stops when they came up. This is in Nashua, NH. I even made sure to pay all my meters before 7:00 even on quick stops. I was just leaving the grocery store when I got pulled over in the parking lot and got swarmed by 5 cars. I was in a pretty isolated part and alone. I hadn't been drinking or smoking but the whole situation still made me nervous. They had me get out of the car and he did a quick pat down and licence check. I looked around and two guys had on FBI coats. I explained that I was just stopping at places to play Pokemon Go. They said they got a call about someone casing places for a robbery. I feel like that story was inconsistent with some of the things said and done. Seemed like a fake reason. One of the FBI guys asked to see my phone and I was hesitant to give up my privacy just like that. He then said if I let him text my phone it can be all over. So i agreed. He reached in my car and took it off the charger. I started telling him my number but he stopped my and said they didn't need it. Another guy with a device pinged my phone, my phone lit up and he gave it back to me and said I was all set. I now am wondering what they did and am I being tracked, or on a list or something. They went and talked together a bit more, then gave me my ID back and I just drove home and am now typing this all out. I really wanted to play more on my day off and during the event but I feel sick even thinking about playing out there right now. Sorry for the long rant I just needed to have someone hear my experience.edit: I'm gonna drive down to the station and ask for more info.update: just got back from the station and talked to a Sergeant. He told me they were looking for someone in that area and that the detectives had pulled me over thinking I was him/her. He also told me they had the persons cell number they were looking for and they just pinged me to make sure I wasn't them. He apologized and shook my hand and I now feel a lot less shaken up. I'll choose to believe it I guess. via /r/pokemongo http://bit.ly/2QQAYBP
