MO SB864

Classifies all motor vehicle traffic violations detected by automated traffic enforcement systems as moving violations subject to point assessment under state law, regardless of municipal or county ordinances.

Prohibits counties, cities, towns, villages, municipalities, state agencies, and other political subdivisions from using automated traffic enforcement systems unless violations are treated identically to violations not detected by such systems.

Requires that violations detected by automated traffic enforcement systems be prosecuted as criminal violations rather than civil infractions, with prosecutors bearing the burden of proving the alleged violator was the driver.

Mandates that any law, ordinance, or regulation authorizing automated traffic enforcement systems must include penalties providing for point assessment to the violator's driver's license and require reporting of all convictions to the department of revenue.

Defines automated traffic enforcement systems as cameras or optical devices designed to record images of motor vehicles, operators, license plates, or other evidence of traffic law noncompliance.
