Pokemon Go

When the scroll caught my eye on one of the televisions at the gym the other morning, I thought this was some sort of prank.

Now I know it is real, popular . . . and very dangerous.

The adage that truth is stranger than fiction comes to mind:  A man in upstate New York just crashed his car into a tree while purportedly playing the game.

Is there a viable case against the game maker, etc.  Not in my view.  There is, what we lawyers’ call, a break in the chain of causation.

How ironic.  My good friend Brian Berkowitz (DUI lawyer extraordinaire just blogged abut this yesterday.  Here's the link:  http://ow.ly/BJIw302aNFq .
