The officers claimed they hadn’t heard the radio request for backup but on the patrol car recordings, they were heard discussing whether to respond and one of the officers could be heard saying, 'Ah, screw it,' according to the court filings.
The officers are then heard for the next 20 minutes discussing the GPS-based Pokémon augmented-reality cellphone game and driving to various locations to "capture" virtual creatures, the filings said.
They were fired after a police board of rights unanimously ruled that the two officers committed misconduct that was "unprofessional and embarrassing" and violated the public’s trust. The officers asked a court to overturn their firings, arguing among other things that the recordings of their private conversations were improperly used as evidence but the Superior Court judge denied their petition. The appeals court upheld that decision.
