Amber Alerts

In the last three days I've received three different Amber Alerts on phone. This is first I've gotten them since covid mania started, and I recall only getting 3-5 total prior to that.

Anyone else getting more Amber Alerts in the last week?

This is one of those systems which seems like a wonderful idea - notify every phone in the area of a car and license plate because the driver is suspected of abducting a child - but it also seems like a system that can be hacked, abused, and warped into other uses.
