For a split second I thought this was an amber alert or something and I was genuinely impressed at it's misuse.

Do we have amber alerts in the UK?

The technology exists but they never seem to use it to do that.

So far they've only ever done a test, which didn't exactly work brilliantly, and then never done anything else with it. Although in fairness I don't know if there's been any opportunities that would require it since the test.
