If used correctly, such systems seem to be useful tools for law enforcement.

In the 88 local, regional and statewide Amber Alert programs, law enforcement and broadcasters work together to get out word about abducted children, using television and radio as well as electronic highway signs.. Editorial urges caution in expanding nations Amber Alert system, noting there are only about 100 abductions of children by strangers a year; argues that if Amber Alerts are to become more widespread, law enforcement must be careful to screen out all but the most well-verified cases and to present information in way that encourages members of public to watch for missing children without taking law into their own hands
