Missouri

What is documented about automated license plate surveillance in Missouri — and what is still an open question.

Are automated license plate readers used in Missouri?

Yes. Volunteers have recorded 2,281 automated license plate reader camera locations in Missouri, across 81 counties. That is a floor, not an inventory — it counts what someone has mapped, not what exists.

Who supplies the cameras

Vendor attribution as recorded by OpenStreetMap contributors. Where a contributor did not identify the vendor the record reads “Unspecified” — that is an unrecorded fact, not a vendorless camera.
