    But now you can’t receive useful alerts like “gry Toyt” (was a real alert that went out).

        Of course, but that’s every other car on the road… No license plate number makes this meaningless

          Not even a location. Every amber alert I’ve gotten has been for towns I’ve never heard of.

            Not always, had one last night that was from a town a mere 30 miles away. And due the the sparse population density here, that like an alert 2 blocks away in your big city. And it is possible I have taught one or two other children from that family in past years. Or I might not have. Hard to tell with the information available to me anymore.
