A Vancouver driver better have caught a Pikachu when police caught an individual playing Pokemon Go while at the wheel.
Police issued a $368 ticket to a driver who pulled up right next to two police officers while playing the game, the Vancouver Police Department tweeted Monday afternoon.
“While playing Pokemon Go may be fun, it’s not worth risking your life or the lives of others so that you can play while driving!” the police tweeted.

This same driver was then caught eight minutes and six blocks later, doing precisely the same thing.
The driver was issued a total of $736 in fines.
