Is anyone's life different or better, or protected, by immediate information that two kids have been arrested for barn-burning?
Why would the McHenry County Sheriff's Department waste a resource to tell the public something it can read online after dinner or tomorrow morning in the Northwest Herald and the Daily Herald?
NIXLE should be used for urgent messages, like the road closure Saturday southeast of Richmond, after a fatal crash on Route 12.
Just imagine all the drivers in the County who receive NIXLE alerts on their cell phones and then take their eyes off the road to read the message. Of course, the law says you aren't supposed to use your electronic device to read or send messages while you are driving.
The only problem is that in every block you can see drivers who are tooling along while they read their text messages.
