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.

Amber alerts go out through tweets? I thought they were their own separate push notification.

In my state (California), the Amber Alerts contain a short URL to a tweet by the highway patrol with the details.
