The cameras that catch drivers who speed or ignore red lights don't just snap you when you're breaking the law. They can shoot you hundreds of times a month.

    I’ve heard of Amber alerts for lost kids but are silver alerts for lost older folk?

      Yup. In California we even segregate the alerts based on race for some fucking reason. Black people don’t get the same normal alert that every other ethnicity gets, they get an EbOnY aLeRt.

            Hmm, needs a bit of workshopping IMO. How about “I duckduckwent” instead?

      Yea, but they are usually more about someone with dementia finding the car keys and driving off than kidnappings.

        That happened to my grandfather more than once. He was in the neighborhood but would lose his bearings, not realizing that we was three blocks from home. A bit nuts.
