Drivers caught on camera ignoring school bus stop signs

- Some local school districts have installed stop-arm cameras to identify drivers who put students at risk. At least 15 states have passed laws allowing for those cameras to lead to automatic citations. But Arizona is not one of them.
The person who killed the 3 kids should have gotten life tf
YEAH! Like that's straight up murder and it was more than one person AND THEY WERE CHILDREN!
@@shartbossmaster It's technically not murder unless it can be proven that the person driving the car had the intent to kill. This probably falls under manslaughter, but the driver definitely deserves life in prison.
Or 40 years and license deducted
Unfortunately, she only got 4 years in prison, 3 years on house arrest, and a 10-year license suspension. Got off way too easy for killing 3 children. She also had the audacity to appeal which was denied.
@@pokochoco5931 No one was saying they were superior.
“This bus driver (May) have saved his life”. No, She definitely SAVED his life.

he wasnt gonna make it out in time to get hit + if he got hit its still very possible that he survives...
No he was gonna make it cause he was walking slow but still maybe not definitely
He wouldn't of died idiot

I don't understand how people are willing to risk a CHILD'S life just to avoid a few minutes of waiting. When it comes to such a young life we should do everything we can to protect them.
Sad thing is it’s not even a few minutes, just seconds a bus comes down my road and the kids run off of it ready to go home.
yea f that
I agree with you
I think ppl arent paying attention its not malice
Not even a few minutes-just seconds
I really don’t understand how some people are in a hurry, either leave home 20 minutes earlier or be late, there’s no need to cause accidents.
Probably because they flat out didn't know. Education systems are a joke. I wasn't even taught this as a teen driver.
Personally, I hated driving because I knew I wasn't ready, but they still gave me a license. I practically had to teach myself everything I know today.
@@JoMcD21 “I practically had to teach myself everything I know today” yeah that’s life lmfao , no one’s responsible for teaching you common sense
@@cool-yt1zq
Common sense would say don't give someone a license who isn't ready to drive.
@@JoMcD21 nah common sense says stop and go slow near a school zone or park and common sense also says stop when you see a stop sign 🤣🤣
Exactly.
Being late will let you live another day instead of rushing to pass away early and to top it all of taking countless lives with you.
All states should make this law...you run past a bus with lights...minimum 1000 fine and immediate license revoked!!! I dont even have kids and this pisses me off
The reason fines never work is because they aren't progressive. The fine should not be a set amount. If you make $200,000 a year, a $1,000 fine isn't going to hurt you at all.
A whole paycheck! Or even 2 paychecks!
Not just America too
Agreed
Please dont have any either
The woman in Indiana that killed 3 kids only got 4 years... thats sad
Sucks they didn't multiply that sentence by 100
Sometimes justice is never fairly served
That is so sad. People who have done less have gotten way more time. The law system in America need a massive overhaul.
If I had my way she would have gotten one year for each victim a hafe a year for each would or could have been victim and add all the ages for the victims to that pathetic 4 year sentence she got.
@@gaius5901 It's incredibly hard to just "remake the laws"
Hope harassment is waiting
Make the sign a massive pole so it just destroys someone’s car for putting a minors life at risk
Lmaoo
Lol it should throw a whole barricade at the car
Actually not a bad idea.
While that sounds good in theory, it's a bad decision. Cause now you are putting the driver and passengers at risk, and the one think USA is really well known for its suing for all the dumbest things. Regardless if it was their fault or not, and just on legal expenses alone, that would be too costly for the schools.

I've stopped for a school bus and people were literally going around me they DO. NOT. CARE. its sickening... it's like would you rather be late to work or kill a kid crossing the road..
YEAH I RATHER WALK THAN DRIVE(My parents drive me home)
I started putting my car over the line to keep people behind me from passing while stopped behind busses. I would much rather be rear ended than to watch a helpless child be hurt/killed from a careless driver.
I've stopped in the middle of both lanes behind a bus to make sure no one passed. People have tried passing me. They gotta hit me before those kids tho
Same things happened to me. I even had someone lay on the horn behind me when I was stopped for a schoolbus.
@@chaysethebadger Wow as a child i thank you 🤩
In 1974 I was hit by a driver that did not stop while I stepped off the school bus. Hit me and almost killed me. True story. I am now 59 and have had to live with the life long pain that is now a disability and I can't get help from anyone. It's a shame!
Were you taught to cross the road safely?
More significantly, have you taught *_others_* how to cross the road safely??
50 years... it's a long time to reflect and act positively on an experience...
@letsdiscussitoversometea8479 Why is it the responsibility of a young individual to remind an adult not to cross a stop sign and red flashing lights?
The question is best directed at people operating 3,000 pound machines.
"Were you ever taught to watch out for young kids at a bus with a stop sign and flashing lights?"
I swear, pedestrian blaming in America is sickening.
@@RafTheDude well, I'm not in the USA - I'm from the UK.
In this country, we have what's known as the "Green Cross Code".
It's a set of instructions that children are generally taught at a very young age for how to cross the road safely.
I was 6 when I was taught how to cross the road using this method.
I was given an audio cassette by my mother containing a "story" of a boy who was very carefree about crossing the road, and very nearly ends up being hit by a passing car.
When I was around either 14 or 15, I irresponsibly (though in my defence without clarity) crossed the road in front of a bus I'd just gotten off.
The next thing I knew, there was the front end of a silver Honda Accord charging right at me.
I think I ended up with my hands on the bonnet - that's how close it was.
From that point on, I said to myself "Right. I'm going to cross BEHIND the bus from now on." That's never changed.
At no time did it ever ONCE cross my mind, that the driver was in any way at fault for his (or her - I've always assumed it was a man) actions.
To have expectations of other road users is *extremely* foolish under any circumstances.
One further other reason for this, is the possibility of manufacturer error of the vehicles themselves.
A documentary on RUclips called "The Quality Connection", produced by British Leyland, shows the types of accidents that can occur anywhere in the construction process if a car.
Attributing "blame" for something entirely unpreventable is an element I suspect you're not really prepared to contend with.
This is why being responsible for one's own actions is crucial.
I imagine countries such as Japan are even more adherent to pedestrian responsibility.
The idea of "blame" simply isn't something I concern myself with - genuine common sense on the other hand...
WTF is wrong with people it only takes a second to stop I mean come on would you rather arrive somewhere a little late or would you rather kill or paralyze a kid and go to jail
Um im not gonna be late gtfo the way
@@blackfacehardon5163 damn right. These kids are gonna have to learn to dodge traffic eventually. If I had time to stop for a school bus I would've had time to scrape more ice off of my windshield than a 2 inch by 2 inch square in the 1st place. They can't expect every driver to even see a school bus let alone stop for one. I got places to be.
@@chrisk6668 lmaooooo you act like you’re so important you can’t even stop. It’s a law to stop at a stop sign, you ain’t got nowhere to be. Ignorant as hell! Taking someone’s life to rush to McDonald’s. Smh
@@GabyP17 obviously I wasnt serious. I was just rolling with the comment I replied to.
@@GabyP17 I agree. Getting to a job on time is not more important than stopping for a school bus picking up kids . Heck don’t care what your boss says about that just stop and wait and tell your boss to F off and that you don’t want to hurt a child.

It's literally only 5 seconds, wherever you're going is not that important.
Many just don't care and start flipping at buses.
Sometimes it’s longer, it really depends how long it takes for kids to get on or off the bus, in some states you have to wait for the bus to resume motion so it could be 1 to 2 minutes in some cases. I don’t illegally pass stopped school buses and don’t think it’s ok to do so but for me I would be annoyed if I had to stop because I wouldn’t want to have stop from going 35 to 40 (or however fast I’m going) when I’m not even in the intersection, especially if I’m on the other side on a road with 4 or more lanes
@@thevarietykid686 I know it can be longer, I wasn't using 5 seconds as the exact time limit for all bus stops like that. My point is that there's no reason for you to be passing a bus like that especially when they have their sign up. From what I know most buses have a set schedule so most people tend to know roughly when a bus is going to be somewhere. So I feel like you should either leave earlier or look for another way around. Those people are putting a child's life in danger and in the case some children have lost their lives because of people like that, but I do get what you're saying though.
@@Rlotpir1972 And that's the sad thing about it all. Most don't care about anyone else but themselves.
It is. Your kids are not special.
If law makers were worried about it the penalty would be a minimum of 30 days in jail and a large fine.
One of my middle school bus drivers used to be write down every licensed plate that passed her down, like she was on a hunt 😂
OMG 😂😂
That's amazing imagine if these lunatics did this one day and killed a child.
Same with my old bus driver
There’s people who care even when you think there’s no one that does
My bus driver did that too. He would take those notices to police, and one my friend’s dad was the driver who passed (even though his son rode the bus everyday, and he knew it was dangerous since it was a spot where most kids got off the bus) and he later got a ticket for it.
You’ll become a fan of cameras when it’s your child being killed or hit by a careless irresponsible wreck less driver !! Jail those idiots for 30 days for doing it! It might save a child’s life !

Because that is a completely assinine conclusion to come too.
One of my friends, who never got their driver's license nor has any interest in getting one, knows that if a bus is stopped with the signs out then you need to stop.
Don't stop signs mean that you have to come to a stop, look and if it's clear, you can go?
I had a woman get mad at me for stopping for a bus, laid on the horn multiple times, passed me while laying on the gas and yelling at me, almost taking out a kiddo, and then promptly pulled over by the officer on the other side of the bus she couldn’t see. My husband did a Nelson laugh as we drove by, cop smiled. Sweet, sweet karma.
I’m glad she was pulled over
@RECKLEZZ Oh no, was the kiddo ok?
@RECKLEZZ I hope somebody got the person’s license plate. Poor kiddo. It’s sad really, people used to look out for each other now everybody’s so selfish they can’t even pay attention to what they’re doing.

@Bowhunters i like that thats a good idea
This. In my state it was ILLEGAL until recently due to "privacy concerns"
idiots
Cameras in other areas are already causing issues. they dont work. we need our police to start monitoring this and issuing tickets. Look up toll road camera issues and look up speeding canera issues. they dont work.
No more driving, fast food, and mandated exercise. If it saves lives you support that.
I say bring a bill to incriminate under the penal code since they decide to use their vehicle as a weapon.
Even tho I’m 15 I completely agree in making this a law there’s so many idiots that don’t deserve to drive
@Lster S - What? This person is saying he supports that we need a law to stop illegal passing. What are you talking about?
@Lster S - Oh okay. Sorry I misunderstood your original comment.
@Lster S you know they should still stop-.. either way they will be moving so they might get hit
@Lster S yes, because every single kid coming off that bus is going to stay on the side they were dropped off and not ever need to cross the street. Stopping traffic to prevent dangerous situations is not unnecessary.
@Lster S you're delusional
"You put a child's life at risk and potentially could've killed them."

Lol, I see why that was confusing now 😅
@@JoMcD21 All good haha. I thought you were trying to go at the kids or something lol.
Many years ago, I was driving a fully loaded 3/4 ton truck down a VERY steep hill. I was geared down and only going about 25 mph. I came around the corner and just KNEW the bus was going to stop and let kids off. Sure enough, the sign came out and lights started flashing. This was WAY before anti-lock brakes and all four wheels were locked was I tried to stop and laid on the horn. I remember being so scared I would hit a kid. I was looking for where to put the truck (the ditch was starting to look very good) when the driver retracted the sign and waved me through. I stopped anyway, with about 10 feet to spare. And then waited for the kids to cross. The driver yelled through he window "Nice stop. That had both of us cringing...". I still cannot believe how many people just do not care. Drivers are trained to spot these conditions and hold the kids back. They have a tough job, we do not have to make it more difficult. This driver was on top of things. Totally awesome.
I like this story.
Iv seen a video of a school in New York and the kids were getting off the bus to go into school, and this is like an elementary school as well, and the driver just couldn't wait so he drove up on the sidewalk where to kids were walking into school and almost hit a few of em as well. It just blew my mind
Nice move and yeah people should be more attentive to school buses... It's not fair for the kids to die or get hurt cuz of some idiots who drive fast
At least you laid on the horn to give warning, so the driver knew you were coming and likely were having trouble.
That's more then I can say for the 4 times I've nearly been hit and run over.
Well if you just knew the bus driver was going to stop you should have listened to your gut and started slowing down right then and there. Glad everyone was okay.
While I understand citations via camera has been deemed “unconstitutional due to invasion of privacy” at stop lights, this is a completely different scenario. This isn’t about simply running a red light, speeding and other basic traffic violations. This is about common knowledge knowing damn well children are getting off the bus and walking directly into traffic. Some kids have to walk in front of the bus as their home isn’t on the same side as the door. Some kids are very young and have not developed the concept to always look for oncoming vehicles. I fully support more action taken to catch these drivers and not simply send a ticket, but to have more aggressive charges as I feel like more people wouldn’t want to risk catching a case. I personally knew someone who almost lost their 1st grader due to a driver in a hurry, intentionally sped by and passed the bus and hitting this child. The boy was thrown into the air, suffered a bad head injury and endured many broken bones but thankfully did not pass away. I’ve witnessed many drivers ignoring a bus stopping to unload children but, again, thankfully no child was hurt.
i agree, we can make an exception for this. i wish my bus had cameras, one that actually were quality and could catch the license plate.
i also wish all my kids paid better attention -- it's actually my younger ones that follow these rules better simply because most of them are eager to please the authority figure. i say that, but my elementary students are english second language kids whose upbringing tends to be better than, ah, certain others.
our routes are designed to pick up on the resident side as much as possible. they're also made by computers, so there's always something left to be desired in real life, so there's always some tweaking that needs to happen.
My district doesn't allow kids to cross the street

The buses should just stop in the middle of the road so there’s no room for cars to pass by
In my area they actually park diagonal in the road.
Unfortunately, that still won't stop some people. I saw a RUclips video of drives going up on sidewalks to get around school busses
Me lil sisters bus driver used to do that
In Texas they do send citations I got one no I didn’t do it on purpose I was literally next to the bus when it started slowing down which of course caused me to pass the light. I paid my ticket and am more careful since then…. But I don’t see people speeding and ignoring the stop sign. At least not that often. They need to give citations, community service or something
That’s actually brilliant
They should confiscate the vehicle and revoke the driver's license for life.

@@xxsumixxtrax8159 that IS too extreme. it is the best idea ive heard in a while, to get cameras to give out tickets for this. but mistakes happen with cameras, and those red light cameras have been known to give tickets out to PARKED CARS they register on the sides of the road. mistakes are costly, and take a lot of time to resolve. get THOUSANDS of moving cameras on the streets in america and mistakes are going to skyrocket. its easier to deal with a small mistake like a ticket than to fix something big like someone being arrested later and having to reinstate a drivers licence that was wrongfully revoked (and more than likely wrongful arrest lawsuits galore) after their car was mistakenly captured when NOT doing anything wrong. courthouses would be SWAMPED forevermore. the paperwork alone for ONE case like that would be wretched! let alone thousands every day, bc like i said a moving camera is going to be more difficult to deal with than a motionless red light camera. these cameras arent being looked at by a human unless someone reports a dispute against the ticket. its all automatic. they get your licence plate on camera, ticket is automatically mailed to you. imagine thousands of automatic warrants issued for arrests in these cases. geeze. this is what judges are for, to judge things on a case by case basis if someone DID do something horrendous and needs to be arrested. a $350-$500 ticket and youll think twice before running past a bus again. theres no reason to have such harsh consequences if something else is effective in lowering the number of instances. you cant impose overly harsh or inhumane treatments when the punishment doesnt fit the crime. what would be next? jail time for running a stop sign? or for jaywalking? both of those infractions can be extremely dangerous as well. that is just a point, use your brain before replying something snarky to this to anyone reading this comment as if i were lessening the impact of driving past a bus in comparison to jaywalking.

@@cscn_3465 no way do I agree, 3 innocents life’s were lost for someone’s irresponsibility. The original comment said something like “imagine getting 15 years in prison for not waiting”, and I believe the lady only received 3-4 years of sentence, so I was trying to say even 15 years would have been better than 3. And if she did get 3-4 years it’s basically almost 1 year per kid she killed, that’s how much the lives of these children were to whoever made the sentence. Sadly, because like you mention, the pain the parents will have, will be eternal for them, and the lady who ran them over will get a chance to start over once she’s out of prison.
Same people who don’t let ambulances pass do this, every buss needs these cameras
They need to up the penalty for this crap. Lose driver license for ten years MINIMUM. If caught on the road again, they go to jail for the same amount of time.
If they hit anyone, it's straight up murder or attempted murder, not manslaughter or accident of any downplaying level. You had to consciously choose to pass a stopped bus which resulted in death or injury.
Should be a massive fine and if you almost hit a kid get some sort of attempted murder with deadly weapons charge. Because I mean if you do hit them then you get a manslaughter charge right?
The man that failed to stop and hit and killed my 12 yr old son on 10/25/12 got only 17 months. He was charged with a class H felony.

Just my opinion, but anyone who willfully endangers the life of a child needs more than just a ticket i.e. suspended license and jail time.
They should make those stop signs stick out farther.
They don't need that. The bus has flashing lights on the front and back. No excuse for someone doing this
@@Ukraine2011.. for sure. I'm just saying, some of those videos you can't even see the stop sign. Just thought it'd help to have it stick out farther an make the sign a little bigger.

@@sjn5401 I agree but everyone knows already that when you see a giant yellow bus with multiple flashing red lights you need to stop. I think the people who blow through feel entitled and nothing will stop them. I also wonder if those drivers have kids or rode the bus when they were young. Some people are just jerks. But I agree with you.
Put a secondary crossing arm (like the one on the front of school busses) that opens up in the lane next to the drivers side, that way oncoming traffic literally has to stop or it'll hit a metal bar.
Like the 11’-8” bridge? Aka the can opener.
That’s a great idea
Exactly!!!
Yes with huge metal spikes facing the cars.
@@danielmerrick5290 I don’t think that’s necessary. Drivers will have enough injuries with a metal bar collision to teach them a lesson for good. Also, the metal bar itself is dangerous enough and all spikes will do is increase the risk of bodily harm.
Install longer stop arms, 6 to 10 feet arms like those at railroads crossing.
There still stupid people they don’t care long Arm
There’s a fee if you break through the barriers.
Exactly. Railroad style arm with police style strobes on it!
Yes!!! and put it on a big spring, so if they hit it, it will scratch down the side of their car and not break off.
Yep those signs are to short .
Those 3 kids were just coming home from school. Being kids. And they died for no reason.
those drivers didn’t deserve a license
@Lster S because they ignore student’s safety. what if they hit their own kids and die at scene then by that time they regret its already too late
@Lster S but in my country every driver always slow down when see school bus stop at roadside because we know students sure will go across the road. we never had any accidents like what happen in us. In my whole life i only saw only 2 case in news. if accident like what happen is us everytime in my country the driver will pay a price for it. Up to 15 years jail sentences, fined and revoked the license for life.
@Lster S I think your one of them
Or vote
@Lster S you must be a driver shown in the video then lmao. There’s a literal stop sign on the bus...every car should be stopping. That’s why kids just get on/off the bus quickly without looking sometimes because it’s assumed that cars stop for the bus. Even if the kids look both ways, it’s possible a car could still go by🤦♀️. And not all buses stop beside the sidewalk, I’ve seen kids crossing the street. You see cars yielding for pedestrians going across the street, it’s the same thing for a bus with LITTLE KIDS, except there’s a literal stop sign. If you wanna risk killing KIDS then that’s on you 🤷🏻♀️🤦♀️I hope you ain’t driving around with that thought.
When I was working patrol, I was not a big ticket writer and supervisors frowned on that. But this is one I truly enjoyed writing. I had two sons in school back then.
Thank you from this bus driver. We LOVE to see them stopped after they blow through our lights and usually the children on the bus will be cheering. 😊🇨🇦
I love people like you 😭 I work in a school transportation (various jobs there) and I often hear of tales of police learning routes of buses (especially with stops where a lot of kids get off) and staying close by to catch those who run the light.
It’s not a big town here but we sadly do get runners a lot but those policemen do love writing tickets for those who truly deserve it!
As a bus driver, I can attest to the fact that this happens a lot.
You should come to my country, Everyone ignores the BUS stop sign & the pedestrian crosswalk
But we can get tickets in the mail for running red lights but not letting kids at risk!!!! This makes as much sense as a headless chicken.
A citation is not enough. Jail time should be mandatory. No exceptions for “I just didn’t see it”.
I've almost got hit multiple times while crossing streets or just standing in parking lots. People don't care at all.

Drivers that are actually smart:
Oh a big red sign that says stop I should stop.

My parents and I are bus drivers. This is always nerve-wracking especially when kids have to cross. We try and avoid cross students as much as possible but if they do, we have them look at us as we check for cars, when clear we motion them to cross. This saved one of my students, as I noticed this car would not stop so I motion him to stay. Thank God he was always good about looking up at me and also looking both ways. The person just speed right through and ignored the lights and me laying on the horn. Even my own brother almost got hit by a car when crossing to get on his bus.. Please if your student or child approaches a bus have them look at the bus driver and teach them to look both ways. It's just a few feet but a lot can happen within that small space.
Bus driving run in your family or something?
I know it looks that way but no lol. The 3 of us got hired in different years but we are working together now. We all had our own reasons for wanting to be a bus driver.
I sincerely thank you for your extra effort to keep our children safe. Every time I get behind slow moving traffic, I thank the Lord. He may be saving me from a speeding ticket or even saving someone's life! Mine included!!
My kids driver tells them they are not allowed to come off the sidewalk until he waves them over. Period. It makes him slower on his route( and he is still on point with being on time) but its safer. I love their driver! He also gives a fist pump to all of the babies getting on. GREAT driver! Thank you as well for the service of helping our children and parents getting to school. It takes a special and kind person to be a driver and you guys have dealt with a LOT of crap. So thank you :)
My Mom was a bus driver for 25 yrs. She is amazing and has dealt with so much. These drivers should receive heavy fines.
They shouldn't hand out licenses like candy. My driver's ed. class didn't teach this and still allowed everyone to get their license. A few weeks over the summer is all the time you needed before being allowed to go out on the road. It's idiotic. So many kids have died in my town from car related injuries.
You mean minimum mandatory 60 days in jail. ...PERIOD!
God bless bus drivers. It's truly one of the most unappreciated positions
I had a horrible one when I was a kid. Also had a really good one tho
When I went to school. Children unloaded onto the side walk as a group. They proceeded to the nearest crosswalk. Then crossed within a designated pedestrian zone. Where motorists expected to see pedestrian travel.
We didn't stop traffic at random locations and half heartedly attempt to create a safe crossing zone in between the actual designated crosswalks that typically have traffic slowing for stop signs, stop lights, other vehicles, ect.... no we force children to cross in the open traveling zones of the roads.
THEY ARENT EVEN ALOUD TO WALK TO A CROSSWALK BECAUSE OF POLICY. CHILDREN FORCED TO CROSS UNSAFE ZONES FOR PEDESTRIANS.
Policy? What policy?
Sidewalks, crosswalks and "designated pedestrian zones" do not exist in a lot of places school buses have to go.
Do people SERIOUSLY not understand how dangerous what they're doing is?! DID PEOPLE SERIOUSLY ONLY TAKE ACTION AFTER THOSE 3 KIDS WERE KILLED FOR SOMEONE'S STUPIDITY?!
When did parents stop teaching their kids not to look both ways before crossing the street?
They were probably like : my time is more important than this

This would all be fixed if the stop sign was 5x bigger, you’d literally have to drive through the stop sign. Or you could have those things they have for train crossroads. Also the bus drivers should have an air/train horn. Never understood why tow trucks and roadside assistance use flashing sirens but busses use blinking lights. If anything school buses should be more obnoxious than police, fire, and ems. They have red and blue to get attention, so should stopped school buses.
More obnoxious, well said
these are great ideas, tho I believe it should just be a given when you see a school bus there is the understanding that it will stop and when it does you should also stop. If a driver can’t tell what a bus is from a few glances, something that looks so unique compared to other vehicles, or they don’t know the rules for driving on the road with school buses then they probably shouldn’t be driving period 😅 but the road signs are great, my city has some for drivers coming from the opposite way of the bus stop and I’ve watched them stop accidents
@@Riskwarrior Yes but with these new self driving cars and drivers becoming more and more distracted something needs to change. You could argue that the kids should look both ways but end of the day there should be something that gets even the distracted drivers attention.

Help the distracted drivers? Really dude? 😐 Anyone who has a license should know that you must yield near any school bus.
@@justabloke7222 so why do emergency vehicles have such bright lights and loud sounds? You can’t pay attention to everything at once, but the safety of these kids should be every drivers priority and we should do everything we can to alert them when a bus is full of kids.

I mean they’re not even wearing seat belts.. why is the life of one person going to the hospital or someone’s speeding ticket more important than the lives of 40+ kids?
The guy who thinks that there shouldn't be cameras and citations everywhere should also be cited.
My bus driver dealt with this so often she called the cops and had one every morning waiting at my bus stop to catch people that wouldn’t stop. Cop wrote a ton of tickets that year!
He must've gotten a huge bonus 🤣🤣
citations but yeah
They should give them $100,000 tickets tbh
Every state needs these cameras. People complain about their rights but if it were there kid or family different story
What about the times where they walking home or to the bus stop and they cross a road without looking? We need a camera there too? Education is the best way to fix the problem or neutralize the immediate danger. You can’t put up a camera everywhere. I mean seriously what is a camera gonna do besides capture the moment? Ya ain’t gonna see that ticket for a week or two and most would already forget that it even happened.
@@billyblanton8042 if someone crossed the road without looking and jaywalked that’s a completely different situation than not stopping at the bus’ stop lights. Yes everyone should look before crossing the road but what people are doing here is illegal and they should be held accountable with sole responsibility the same way as when a car runs through a red light and almost crashes into someone who went because of their green light.
There is no reasonable expectation of privacy in public. People record dash cam videos all the time. This would be no different.
This problem wont stop by telling people to be better. You can tell a person up and down what could happen when they illegally pass a bus, but they wont care if there aren't any reproductions. The cameras would only harm the driver if they were doxed and their address is leaked. TBH, this info would only be between schools and the cops. I feel this is only a problem for people who are dumb enough to illegaly pass busses. This is one of the first thing taught in drivers ED. There is no reasonable reason to be passing a giant yellow bus with a Stop sign protruding purposely for all to see. Not to mention the flashing lights and small humans scrambling aboard.
