The way they go State-wide makes them especially annoying in places like Texas where there's a ton of people, and the event is 400+ miles away.
The regulation needs to be fixed so that they can make them more targeted. Currently it cries wolf often enough that nobody pays any attention.
If, when appropriate, they could limit it to a county or two, that'd be a hell of a lot more useful.
It also gets used way too often in cases where it's a 17yo running off with their boyfriend or a custodial dispute where the child isn't in any danger but is a day late coming back from the weekend with the other parent.
