What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

In Missouri, Governor Mike Kehoe signed an executive order establishing new rules for automated license plate readers, including Flock Safety cameras. These rules require most license plate and vehicle data to be permanently deleted within 30 days, prevent vendors from selling the data, and prohibit the use of artificial intelligence facial-recognition technology with the systems. Concurrently, concerns over the potential abuse of data collected from these cameras have led nearly 100 communities nationwide to cancel contracts with Flock Safety.

The executive order in Missouri establishes operational guardrails for technology use in the state. These actions apply pressure on the General Assembly to consider a permanent statutory framework for technology oversight. The combination of executive orders and nationwide calls for caution impacts the operational viability of surveillance technology companies.
