Tried to look at an Amber Alert today (self.technology)

I have a long commute in and out of a large city. Since I spend so much time on the road, I always try to get the details of Amber Alert notifications to be on the lookout for vehicles used in abductions. I guess I can't do that anymore since Twitter requires an account to see Amber Alerts. Hopefully my state finds another platform to post them.

Just curious, have you ever found anything mentioned in an amber alert?

[–] UnmeltedByRain 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nope. But one time I saw the Oscar Mayer Weinermobile, and I had never seen it before. So it's possible. I end up driving 2 1/2 hours per day, so anything to make things more interesting.

They used to have the county, type of car and a license plate half the time.

Tbh I've gotten pretty conditioned to ignore them.
