I know that presidential alarms can’t be blocked, but I have yet to find if local “real” alerts can be blocked? The entire state of Texas was awoken recently because of something that happened in a locality that didn’t really affect anyone outside of it.
I don’t need to know a cop is hurt 8 hours from me and the chances the perp would come into my life are bordering on infinitely small. What it can do is lead to lots of deaths because people turn off all emergency alarms because now they don’t trust the government to be decisive in sending out an alert that should have been local. Texas government definitely has a lot of joke elements to it. Evidently you can’t turn off these “Blue Alerts” unless you turn off all alerts. There has been nothing from the government about why this is allowed, only just radio silence, and they wonder why people have an axe to grind.
