How do you opt out of them? I mean, I probably don't want to, but I feel I should know how, if only to feel I own my device, rather than the government.

I use a Motorola Android phone for reference.

In some countries, you can't unless you connect your phone to a PC and disable the system on your phone entirely.

But googling "[phone make and model] disable amber alerts" should direct you to the settings where you can adjust things (assuming your country does it properly and respects these settings).
