Missouri’s New Public Safety Laws

Missouri just passed a sweeping public safety bill that’s turning up the heat on drones, cybercrime, parole, and sex offenses. With the World Cup looming, drones now face tighter rules — even flying near critical infrastructure with malicious intent is a crime, and delivering explosives via drone is a felony. Cyberstalkers and harassers face new misdemeanor charges, including secretly tracking someone’s car — with harsher penalties for repeat offenders. The bill also criminalizes sharing intimate images and introduces a new felony for sadistic online exploitation. Parole rules are tougher too: offenders must serve a minimum percentage of their sentence before eligibility, with Class A felons needing 70%. Sex crimes are getting stiffer sentences — first-degree rape is now a Class A felony with a 10-year minimum. Juvenile justice is updated with stricter fingerprinting, private court proceedings, and a new three-tier sex offender registry — missing three registrations? That’s now a Class A felony.
