Missouri governor orders guardrails on Flock cameras and ALPRs

Missouri Governor Mike Parson has ordered the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) to equip all Flock Safety cameras and Automatic License Plate Readers (ALPRs) with guardrails to prevent invasive or malicious use of the technology. The decision comes after concerns were raised about the data collection and storage practices of Flock Safety. Flock Safety cameras are used to monitor traffic and detect speeding and red-light runners, while ALPRs are used to track license plates and identify vehicles. The cameras and ALPRs are typically used for traffic enforcement and public safety purposes. The governor's order aims to ensure that the data collected by these devices is used for its intended purpose and is not misused. MoDOT will be responsible for implementing the new guardrails and ensuring compliance with the governor's order. The specific details and timeline for implementation are not specified in the article.
