'Pokemon Go' interferes with police search

http://www.usnews.com/news/business/articles/2016-07-13/the-latest-not-easy-or-automatic-to-opt-out-of-pokemon-go

        People playing Pokemon Go accidentally interfered with a
        search for a mysterious man who'd fled from a Lincoln,
        Nebraska convenience store where a clerk was killed last week.
        Police say a store security guard noticed the man around 2
        a.m. Wednesday. He was dressed in camouflage clothing and
        wearing a hood, gloves, sunglasses and a bandanna over his
        face. The guard asked the man to remove his bandanna, but he
        ran off instead.  A police dog taken to the scene to track the
        man got distracted by the scents of some people engrossed in
        the popular new smartphone game nearby.
