Missouri Gov. Kehoe signs executive order targeting misuse of ALPRs, including Flock
- On Wednesday, Missouri Governor Mike Kehoe signed Executive Order 26-18 establishing strict statewide safeguards for Automated License Plate Reader technology, including Flock Safety cameras, to prevent personal data misuse while preserving law enforcement capabilities.
- Kehoe's administration cited recent instances of law enforcement officers abusing ALPR systems to stalk or harass romantic interests, including a New York Sheriff's investigator's arrest earlier this month, prompting the order.
- The order mandates that most license plate and vehicle data be permanently deleted within 30 days, prohibits vendors from commercializing Missouri-generated data, and bans artificial intelligence facial recognition integration with ALPR systems.
- Senator Josh Hawley launched an investigation into Flock Safety's cameras two weeks ago, while local responses diverge: the City of Parkville suspended its program recently and Blue Springs police expanded theirs this week.
- Until the Missouri General Assembly establishes a permanent statutory framework, law enforcement agencies are encouraged to voluntarily adopt these standards where possible under existing contracts and law.
