Geocachers taxing police resources
“
Today I had a conversation with a fellow local cacher (The Mighty Canadian Juicepig) about some caches in our area that are either too easy or in spots that may not be appropriate. He send me a link to a recent article that may give even better reasons to place caches with more thought.
This article from the Hamilton Spectator tells the story of a Hamilton cache being mistaken for a home-made bomb. The Explosive Devices Unit of the Hamilton Police used a robot to get close to the suspicious container and take a photograph — later discovering it was only a Geocache.

I look like Usama Bin Laden from a distance, but I’ve not yet been required to change my appearance in the off-chance that a policeman sees me and gets suspicious.
