Ozark, Missouri – November 25, 2025

If you’re rolling around Christian County with Missouri’s yellow “Don’t Tread on Me” specialty plate — the one with the coiled rattlesnake that says “mess with me at your own risk” — you might be the exact vehicle Ozark’s new surveillance cameras love to photograph.

Since 2023 the city has been quietly installing Flock Safety automated license-plate readers (ALPR). These cameras snap every plate that drives by, record make/model/color, exact time and GPS location, and upload it all to Flock’s private cloud.

They’re adding another 9+ cameras in 2025, including city parks and residential entrances.

The Missouri “Don’t Tread on Me” plate

Yellow-to-white gradient, black lettering, and that famous Gadsden rattlesnake on the left. Thousands of us run it because it’s the universal symbol of “government, leave me the hell alone.”

Jose Rodriguez filed simple public-records requests asking for every single photo his local Flock cameras ever took. When cities realized they’d have to release thousands of innocent people’s comings and goings… several just powered the cameras down instead of complying.

We just filed the exact same thing in Ozark

On November 25, 2025, a formal Missouri Sunshine Law request was sent to City Clerk Chandra Hodges demanding every photo, video, timestamp, and metadata of a Missouri “Don’t Tread on Me” plate captured by any Flock camera in Ozark since January 1, 2024.
