Newest Pokemon GO Lawsuit Seeks Payouts for Annoyed Property Owners

[Leg End]

This is due to the location of the couple's house, which is across the street from Detroit's Wahby Park.

Nothing to see here really. Zero chance of them winning a suit.

Mark my words, we will soon bear witness to "The Great 'Get Off My Lawn!' Class-Action Suit of 2016".

It is coming.

If it was handled the Walt way, I imagine the trespasser complaints would go down really fucking quick.

Already certain of that happening in some states, like...any state where they shoot trespassers in general.

As has been said, I'm not sure how it's Niantic's fault that people are trespassing onto their property when the stops are on the park. Though as Clankenbeard pointed out, this might be a brute-force way of getting Niantic to actually listen to them (I mean, this is a company that deals with a buggy feature by going "fuck it" and just ripping it out).

So why not sue the people who are doing the actual trespassing?

Oh, right, they don't have super-deep pockets to drain for easy profit.

Sad truth of lawsuits: wealth is more important than liability when choosing who to sue.
