## Resource

A new Missouri law, “Mason’s Law,” aims to transform traffic stops for drivers with special needs by introducing a special license plate designation that alerts officers to adjust their approach—after a harrowing incident where a 21-year-old autistic man was nearly shot during a routine stop. Designed to prevent future tragedies and foster safer interactions, the law empowers law enforcement with critical awareness at a glance, turning potential confrontations into moments of understanding and de-escalation. Inspired by fear and advocacy from families like Mason Ott’s, this legislation represents a vital step toward building trust and protecting vulnerable road users across the state.
