Bill > SB1027

This bill proposes to add a new section to Missouri state law that prohibits counties, cities, towns, villages, municipalities, state agencies, and other political subdivisions from purchasing, installing, using, accessing, or utilizing automated license plate reader (ALPR) systems on public highways. An ALPR system is defined as one or more cameras with computer algorithms that convert license plate images into computer-readable data. The bill defines captured plate data as including GPS coordinates, date and time, photographs, license plate numbers, and other related information. The prohibition has two key exceptions: ALPRs affixed to vehicles occupied by peace officers and plate data captured by third-party vendors in compliance with specific existing state statutes related to vehicle registration. By restricting the use of ALPR technology, the bill aims to limit potential government surveillance and protect individual privacy by preventing widespread tracking of vehicle movements across public roadways.
