The Amber alerts were driving me crazy. They were sending me alerts from the other end of the state, plus I am seldom out where I would see a suspicious vehicle and all kids look alike to me, pretty much.

Between the threatened Trump alerts and Amber Alerts, I turned off everything I could. And I still get alerts!
