2020/04/22

According to GameRant, many residents of the United States have also chosen to stay home to prevent the epidemic due to the new coronavirus epidemic, and "Pokémon Go" has made an update to make it easier for players to play at home. Still, a pair of Minnesota mothers and daughters opted to drive out and play "Pokémon Go," stopping and walking around the block in their car, only to be questioned by police as suspicious people. Let’s find out the ins and outs of this.

According to reports, a Minnesota resident named Amy Kellems recently drove a car with her daughter to play "Pokémon Go", the vehicle stopped and walked around the block, the mother and daughter caught Pokémon in the car. Kellems and her 12-year-old daughter were then stopped for questioning by a police officer, who explained to them that they had chosen to drive out to play the game while respecting the call for segregation. After some explanation, the Kellems mother and daughter were also released by the officers.

Foreign media outlet FOX7 reported that Amy Kellems described the incident in a post on the Nextdoor website afterwards. Her neighbours saw the post and realised that the "suspicious vehicle" that had recently been seen on the block and stopped every few minutes was Amy and her daughter. The neighbor who called the police was also very sorry, and a few days later served Amy Kellems with a treasure-mantle-themed cake and apologized (the report says the neighbor was standing "10 feet away" from the door at the time of the apology), which read, "I’m sorry we called the police on you."
