Amber alerts can be turned off. Those tend to be useless and more harmful than anything. Waking up tens of thousands in the middle of the night likely leads to more accidents. Emergency alerts can also be turned off, though personally I find it useful in my local area (Western Berks), so I leave that one on.

Yep. Most AMBER alerts are just divorced couples being shitty to each other.

That rare one that justifies the system tho
