I don't understand the "hopping fences" situation. The game doesn't require you to be right on top of the Pokemon you're looking for. Actually, it has something of a 50ft range. On top of that, "tracking" the Pokemon doesn't necessarily entail very accurate knowledge on where a Pokemon is located. You are given a distance in silhouettes of animal feet. 3 of them means you're off by almost a kilometer, down to 0 feet meaning you're within 40 meters or so. It tells you very little of direction. I can't imagine the need to hop fences to get to the Pokemon you're looking for. Actually, I hope if enough of these types of cases present themselves, they'll extend your range... Wishful thinking...
this is where i am confused, no one needs to jump fences to get close enough to the spots but as with everything in this world a few idiots ruin things for the good people.
only issue I have with the game is the lack of control some places have over a spot being put, one example was a man living in an old church and his church/house was marked as a pokemon stop. And some hospital emergency areas are being marked as spots too.

the game itself is harmless fun as long as people are mindful of their locations and arent using a phone wile driving (which is a common problem outside this game)
