As a bus driver, I see people running my reds all the time. It makes me feel great to see pd taking initiative and stopping people from doing this dangerous crime!
my brother works for Gatekeeper systems. They're a company that specializes in camera systems for vehicles. They have tons of systems in use across North America that use stop arm cameras. If a car passes a bus with the stop arm activated three pictures are taken, the front license plate, the driver, and the rear license plate.
Put an active camera to switch on when the signs out and off when it's not. Send them a ticket and have them show up to court mandated to talk to a Judge and explain it. It's no different that a speed camera. The difference being this is to save kids lives not Big brother!
Ahman Millener They'd also have to change laws and do public education campaigns first, where I am the cops set up speeding cameras, but the tickets got thrown out because by law they had to have proper signage up indicating of the camera thing ahead. So the law kinda forces the cameras to be a deterrent and only tickets those that don't care and speed anyway. When I lived in that area I never saw cops patrolling and everyone just breaker for the cameras... DUI was also socially acceptable there -_- So they'd have to change laws to allow for traffic enforcing cameras being installed on buses, proper signage of them being in use, public education campaigns to notify of the change, and then prove that it's a foolproof system that can't be screwed with.like Busdriver acticating the camera without the arm out.
Speed cameras are a deterrent they don’t hold up in court. As this is the highest moving fine that can be given, anybody would go to court and get it thrown out
This is a great idea. In my department we view infractions within close proximity of a school bus to be some of the more serious infractions, rarely issuing a warning. We've never gone as sneaky as this but it's definitely a good idea. People will be thinking twice before driving around like a ding dong near a bus full of our future.
why dont they just mount cameras like at red lights. violators get a nasty ticket mailed home and maybe required to show up in court amd explain why they ran the sign. personally i would be more embarrassed having to explain why i didnt stop.
Dantastic agreed this is one the cops should really be looking out for.... btw if the person is reckless enough to not stop for the bus, what’s the chances they won’t run a stop sign either ? It’s not just kids that are in danger...
Several years ago I was a taxi driver. Every now and then the local police would show up at the company and borrow some taxis. They were the spotters and as soon as they caught anyone breaking the law they contacted another officer in a marked police vehicle and you got some pretty flashing blue lights behind you. be careful out there because the police are undercover in more vehicles than just school buses and taxes.
Next time... Simply have an "un-marked" driving in the front-pilot "position" ahead of the bus.. such that when the bus "stops" - the lead-pilot car can slow and crawl until about 50 - 100 yards further on .. after the bus stops, as that way - the cop in the bus only has to give the "lead" driver the two-way call, and that officer in the lead-car thus has a "free-run" at the speedster, because he's already ahead of the bus, and slowly moving .. thus an acceleration is all he needs to be "up-to' chase speed, by the time the illegal bus-passer get to them..
Something I would love to see when the stop sign deploys for a stop is under the bus, a spike strip that can adjust to two lane or four lane capability comes out as well. See how many red light runners will run then.
I watched a pick up truck pass a stopped school bus once and almost hit the kids who had just gotten off. They were walking oblivious and were going to cross the street in front of the bus. The kids never saw it coming but the bus driver and I did. We both laid on laid on our horns. The kids heard it and stopped quick but the driver never slowed or looked back in his mirror. Angels and miracles worked together that day.
There are so many ridiculous traffic violations I've seen police try to attack head on in full force. This is not one of those violations. Keep the kids safe, you go guys.
What i'm trying to get on about is this: People still need to stop for when kids are getting off buses. And, in drivers handbooks/classes, they say that pedestrians, no matter what age, are to be given the right of way. And the police in this were doing this due to complaint they received on drivers like this.
School Buses have amber warning lights similar to hazard lights that are turned on about 5-10 seconds before the bus stops. There is plenty of time for drivers to safely stop and wait for the children to disembark.
This is outrageous you place the safety of a child every time you pass a school bus with their flashing lights on. I wouldn't want on my conscience somebody getting hit by my car passing me flashing lights. Where do these people get their license?
It's so ridiculously bad out here . That I used to take my daughter to school in the early morning program at school and there was a short bus that has to stop across the street for a kid @ 630ish I would use my car to keep cars from passing and the would still try to pass me until they see the kid !! It's like wow !!!! Where the respect and care for the Youth of America !!!!!!
The question about the cussing was rhetorical. Whenever police are used in this situation then there a couple of reasons as to why: 1) Parents of theses kids are probably calling about the way some drivers are around the buses during unloading/loading of students. 2) It is probably, also, due to some cases of accidents involving children leaving the bus.
Naaaahhh. That's bullcrap. I live in Maine, And the school bus drivers always watch out for cars that may seem to be going to fast to stop. They put the yellows first, but if it seems you are going too fast, they will wait 5 or more seconds before they flip the sign and red lights. Now that my friend, is REVENUE GENERATION.......
Drivers caught driving past stopped school buses that have lights that are flashing should be fined. The Highway Traffic Act of Ontario, Canada prescribes 6 penalty points and a large fine for blowing past stopped school buses.
a stop sign means stop... not continue on going like it was not there... its the same as a intersection... the pedestrians have the right away to cross...
@NeOGlock They do. On most buses in my county there are two night-vision cameras mounted under the stop sign facing the back and front and when the 8-ways are activated they snap a picture when motion is detected. But the citation has to be made up manually- they haven't automated that yet! :)
Bottom line, there are children. Here is AZ the drivers I have seen, put on their flashing lights then stop the bus then put out the flashing stop sign. There is a good 15 seconds or longer for all this to happen. Nobody should be slamming on their brakes or not failing to stop. About 3/4 years ago a crosswalk guard was run over and killed at a school crossing.
Word of advice to all CZcams users who are learning to drive or just started to drive. DON'T PASS A SCHOOL PASS WHEN THE SIGN IS OUT. You will be putting the kids or other passengers at risk. Some kids go in front the bus to get to the other side of the road, right in your path.
I live in California the procedure is that we activate our red lights take the keys out of the bus and cross the kids, we're out of the bus no longer than a minute. Also some of our buses have a park-brake feature which disables the air brake knob( I'll be happy to do a video demonstration If you like) so the kids can't move it. I can understand your worries but everybody is safe.
On a bus, the yellow light is used a warning or heads-up for drivers to prepare to stop, not proceed with cuation like an amber traffic light. Then the red lights and stop sign.
Foremost let me commend you for the job that you chose. Most folks can't really wrap their heads around the demands of your vocation. And kudos to your constabulary for taking an aggressive stance as they try to stop these potential children killers. Godspeed you all.
ok, go back and "read" if there "ISNT" a crossing guard or a crosswalk. then there is no reason to stop, because the driver is required to get off the bus and stand in the middle of the road with a stop sign if a kid needs to cross. if no kids are crossing theres no reason to stop..
This morning I dropped off my son to school and I happen to be stopped by the bus in front of me with lights flashing red and next thing I know I’m being honked at behind me ....they kept honking and honking I didn’t go but it kinda frustrates me how impatient people could be. I got the middle finger afterwards and the F word just glad I was there so the kids could get on the bus safely.
I'd like to be called in on these. As a Trooper I was pulling over 4 or 5 at a time. I even had a motorcycle that I caught up to that went by at about 200, by the time I got turned around they were 2 miles away, it was more luck that I caught them when they finally thought they were safe. Having an aircraft above could also help alot.
This is a good practice by state police, but, the 'bad' also has to be reversed...In Houston, Tx where I live, school bus drivers are known to speed as much as 35 mph, or MORE, above the speed limit all over Houston, The worst place for this going on is in North Houston, just southwest of Bush Airport by Aldine School District buses. I have personally paced them doing 75 mph in the posted 45 mph areas. School police, bus barn bosses, and, school superintendents will do NOTHING! This is our school taxes at work here in Houston, Texas!
He's correct as a driver if a kid needed to cross the street, I'm required to turn the engine off and walk in the street with a hand held stop sign and let them cross.
Here's the thing, that's true, BUT....stop lights last for 3? seconds always. Stop lights also have a line of which you can cross, that is 15 feet away from the stop light. If you go passed this line, you're allowed to continue going, they actually give you room to stop. What do people do when they are underneath a yellow light? slam their breaks? Think before you respond, please.
If it was a family member of yours you'll feel exactly the same so yes it's those little kids. 😂😂bad drivers. If you drive by a stopped bus. Should be 1 year suspension.
Where I live they want to do it, but we’re debating it for cost reasons I believe (the previous government was notarious for wasting money on stupid things but not this..... the amount of people it would catch would pay for itself fast! (the fine goes to 2k and starts at 490)
bus drivers tend turn the ambers on and open the door to activate Reds while in motion. your trying to figure when is the bus stopping when your distance is to far back to know if the bus had stopped or not.
True. That's why if the bus driver WAS drunk I was wondering how kids their age knew the signs of being drunk. It may be possible their parents or parent is an alcoholic. But its just a theory .
I almost died to one of those idiots. Stop signs were out. I was crossing the street. Suddenly, a car zooms around the school bus. (Plus, if u really wanna see idiots, go to a railroad crossing and wait for a train. People will actually go around the railroad crossing gates)
If you made the “fine” 60 days suspended and 2nd time license gone forever. Add all the money you want to charge. The same should apply for cell phones and dui
It's a shame that all these experts aren't applying to become school bus drivers. You wouldn't need training because you can keep the kids under control at all times as well as driving a 13 ton vehicle in city traffic as people plow past the stop signals because their being late to work is more important than the safety of school children who the speeders do not know.
why dont they use a camera system that when then stop sign comes out anyone who passes gets caught by cctv registration taken and receive a fine through the post. London has them on the buses for drivers who go in the bus lane at restricted times.
Many smaller districts don't have the money and voters won't approve bond measures to get them. In my district, our schools have "delayed" nearly 50 million in repairs because of inadequate funding.
Dr. Zoidberg I don't know if it is the whole state, but at least the Rochester area and it is only a few days of the school year so rarely done and the amount of busses followed depends on how many units they have so not every bus is followed.
Make it mandatory for all school busses across the country (both U.S & Canada) to have HD cameras on the front and rear of the bus that activate the moment driver activates the flashing lights warning motorists that the bus is about to stop. Then any footage of violators can be sent off to traffic enforcement and dealt with properly.
wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait I explained it before if a bus stops in a four-lane Street and it's on the right side. the drivers in the left lane shouldn't have to stop
Amanda Jarrett was with Wood TV 8 in Grand Rapids Michigan and I am so happy to see her gone that voice of hers is so irritating I had to mute my TV no loss to Michigan 😂
I'm not denying they have reason to do it, clearly with " I believe in few cases this is needed". So, what are you getting on about? My problem is with this local police force abusing their power, and not giving people a fair chance. Again, at a stop light you have at least 3 seconds when it's yellow, and 15-30 feet of a clearance. They clearly did not give that to all these drivers. It would be stupid to think that means though that there aren't any lunatic drivers who need stopped. Derp.
Ticketing drivers that pass the bus while the bus is in the act of stopping is ridiculous. There has to be a buffer in place somewhere. It would be the same as having street lights go from green straight to red, and ticketing those motorists that refuse to lock up their brakes to stop. However, the yellow is added as a grey area for those too close to the intersection. Same should be implemented for school buses. This video is just showing how police exploit a school buses deficiency.
MY SUGGESTION PUT LOWER RAILROAD CROSSING BOARD WITH Stop Sign ATTACHED IN MIDDLE.JUST LONG ENOUGH TO STOP THEM INSTEAD OF FRONT Of Bus PLACE ONE NEAR REAR AND FRONT !!!!!!!!!🤗🤗🤗🤗
Every bus should have photo cameras like the once they have at the street lights. If they can catch people at a red light and build him a ticket I’m pretty sure they can manage to put one on schoolbuses
As a bus driver, I see people running my reds all the time. It makes me feel great to see pd taking initiative and stopping people from doing this dangerous crime!
In Ontario cameras automatically come on as soon as the busses flashing lights do, are your busses equipped the same way?

This is a real thing where I live now
except speed cameras are dismissed in court and is the main reason i wear sunglasses and stuff while driving.
Speed cameras are a deterrent they don’t hold up in court. As this is the highest moving fine that can be given, anybody would go to court and get it thrown out
$5000 minimum fine have great day !
This is a great idea. In my department we view infractions within close proximity of a school bus to be some of the more serious infractions, rarely issuing a warning.
We've never gone as sneaky as this but it's definitely a good idea. People will be thinking twice before driving around like a ding dong near a bus full of our future.
looks like B ST is mad
only 3 out of 11 were caught/cited? what a waste of time... i can't believe they weren't more prepared for this....
They will be.
You only a certain amount of cops who can actually catch up and pull someone over
City got their money
Better than none at all
Great idea to have law enforcement on the buses.
Simple solution - Roof mounted machine guns!
+Sage Diviner calm yourself child
Sage Diviner lol
Chance of ricochet back towards the bus though..
Sage Diviner 😂
Sage Diviner you spelt rocket launcher wrong lol
on top of speeding tickets, violators should be fined extra to cover the cost of school bus cameras.
100% agree
100% agree
and for the police payment
100% agree and more school bus companies should do this with the police every once in a while.
Donald Trump we got a tough kid here who is another dumbass
why dont they just mount cameras like at red lights. violators get a nasty ticket mailed home and maybe required to show up in court amd explain why they ran the sign. personally i would be more embarrassed having to explain why i didnt stop.
chavy I agree just like cameras used in overhead tolls to take license plates
some state can't issue tickets in else officer see them bus compaines do not have all this extra money to buy things they don't have
chavy I
this isn't *only* about red lights..
In many places, they call that "illegal modification of a school bus." I wore a body cam and they frowned on that too. It's bureaucracy at its worst!
This is one violation you can't argue the police are enforcing just for revenue. Keep it up.
Dantastic agreed this is one the cops should really be looking out for.... btw if the person is reckless enough to not stop for the bus, what’s the chances they won’t run a stop sign either ? It’s not just kids that are in danger...
Good, they should do this more often.
I seen Some of the drivers don't stop at the street stop signs!!! So don't complian just about the bus stop signs!!
Here they took out the stop signs in residential areas & put in yield signs. City & insurance companies probably running low on money.
stopping or a full stop? full stops arent needed as long as they doa decent stop look every direction twice and then go
Several years ago I was a taxi driver. Every now and then the local police would show up at the company and borrow some taxis. They were the spotters and as soon as they caught anyone breaking the law they contacted another officer in a marked police vehicle and you got some pretty flashing blue lights behind you. be careful out there because the police are undercover in more vehicles than just school buses and taxes.
Equip the school buses with exterior cameras!
We need them on my bus !!!
I saw someone in a red ford sedan pass the reds. My bus driver caught his plate, I wrote it down, and it got taken to the police. #catchpeoplesplates
Next time...
Simply have an "un-marked" driving in the front-pilot "position" ahead of the bus.. such that when the bus "stops" - the lead-pilot car can slow and crawl until about 50 - 100 yards further on .. after the bus stops, as that way - the cop in the bus only has to give the "lead" driver the two-way call, and that officer in the lead-car thus has a "free-run" at the speedster, because he's already ahead of the bus, and slowly moving .. thus an acceleration is all he needs to be "up-to' chase speed, by the time the illegal bus-passer get to them..
Or have a police officer posted at/near every bus stop possible in the mornings and afternoons.
If they put cameras on the buses they could get a hell lot more tickets, more than enough to cover the cameras in the first place.
Something I would love to see when the stop sign deploys for a stop is under the bus, a spike strip that can adjust to two lane or four lane capability comes out as well. See how many red light runners will run then.
I watched a pick up truck pass a stopped school bus once and almost hit the kids who had just gotten off. They were walking oblivious and were going to cross the street in front of the bus.

Angels and miracles worked together that day.
I bet those are the best behaved kids on a bus EVER! Put a state trooper on every bus where kids behave badly.
This needs to be done frequently as this is basically free money for the city 🤣🤣🤣🤣
There are so many ridiculous traffic violations I've seen police try to attack head on in full force.
This is not one of those violations.
Keep the kids safe, you go guys.
this is a very good idea... most police should been on a school bus checking for drivers who doesn't stop and checking for kids for do silly things
Once that sign pops out and it says STOP, you gotta STOP. Doesn't matter who you are, treat the bus STOP sign as if it was a real STOP sign.
What i'm trying to get on about is this: People still need to stop for when kids are getting off buses. And, in drivers handbooks/classes, they say that pedestrians, no matter what age, are to be given the right of way.
And the police in this were doing this due to complaint they received on drivers like this.
All states need to do this! With a 1500 dollar fine!
Good, this should also prevent fights on the bus. Nobody is going to get in a fight on the school bus if there is a cop on board.
School Buses have amber warning lights similar to hazard lights that are turned on about 5-10 seconds before the bus stops. There is plenty of time for drivers to safely stop and wait for the children to disembark.

Now that my friend, is REVENUE GENERATION.......
Drivers caught driving past stopped school buses that have lights that are flashing should be fined. The Highway Traffic Act of Ontario, Canada prescribes 6 penalty points and a large fine for blowing past stopped school buses.
David W yup 6 demerits for passing a school bus is the same league as drag racing ...... as it should.....
i bet those kids behaved themselves when he was on that bus probably could hear a pin drop lol
Should be a mandatory 6 month license suspension. There is no excuse for endangering kids due to impatience or stupidity.
We have Cameras on all our schools buses in the area. EVERYWHERE NEEDS CAMERA’s‼️
a stop sign means stop... not continue on going like it was not there... its the same as a intersection... the pedestrians have the right away to cross...
在加拿大也一樣，除非警察出來“專項打擊”，否則司機根本就無視School bus。想要根治，只有一法：在School bus上安裝攝像頭，每天自動上傳到交通管理部門，並且無需用人工來檢查這些視頻，而是利用人工智能技術，讓機器自動捕捉這些違法車輛，並自動開出罰單，自動郵寄到車主家中。如果三次被罰--屬於屢教不改者，再有警察上門去處理--吊銷牌照、逮捕入獄等。至於不交罰款，那倒不用擔心--他過不了年檢這一關，既不能再開這台車，也不能賣了這台車，甚至連再買一台新車也不能夠了--車主被記錄在了黑名單中。在北美，沒有車你就沒法生活了，所以車主最後還是會乖乖地把罰款交上，還要計算拖欠的利息的哦。
@NeOGlock They do. On most buses in my county there are two night-vision cameras mounted under the stop sign facing the back and front and when the 8-ways are activated they snap a picture when motion is detected. But the citation has to be made up manually- they haven't automated that yet! :)

need this to happen in the afternoon in NSP,Maplewood,Oakdale area no matter what company
That needs to continue at All times
I had a police officer ride a school bus with us once when I was in junior high.
Word of advice to all CZcams users who are learning to drive or just started to drive. DON'T PASS A SCHOOL PASS WHEN THE SIGN IS OUT. You will be putting the kids or other passengers at risk. Some kids go in front the bus to get to the other side of the road, right in your path.
800mhz trunking system. The ISP statewide system that's been in use for over a decade.
Yeah they'll spread the word....DONT GET CAUGHT, these punks need to pat a HUGE FINE for putting children in harms way.
I was just pointing out how nervous they must've been getting on the bus that day and seeing a cop on it...
Bet there were 0 fights on that bus that day!
I live in California the procedure is that we activate our red lights take the keys out of the bus and cross the kids, we're out of the bus no longer than a minute. Also some of our buses have a park-brake feature which disables the air brake knob( I'll be happy to do a video demonstration If you like) so the kids can't move it. I can understand your worries but everybody is safe.
They should put a high resolution cam on that stop sign on the bus. Should be like a money generator for the first few weeks :-)
On a bus, the yellow light is used a warning or heads-up for drivers to prepare to stop, not proceed with cuation like an amber traffic light. Then the red lights and stop sign.
In Ontario whenever those flashing lights come on a camera automatically comes on to to catch anybody that goes by illegally.

Actually some kids have a 6th sense to alert them when something is wrong. I still have mine working over time, lol. But, yeah pretty good theory.
ok, go back and "read" if there "ISNT" a crossing guard or a crosswalk. then there is no reason to stop, because the driver is required to get off the bus and stand in the middle of the road with a stop sign if a kid needs to cross. if no kids are crossing theres no reason to stop..
all i can say is good job cop and driver bus lady...
Guys, passing a school bus is like passing the FBI going 100 miles an hour.
Good reminder I will be more careful and make sure when I'll see a yellow truck it will be my priority
This morning I dropped off my son to school and I happen to be stopped by the bus in front of me with lights flashing red and next thing I know I’m being honked at behind me ....they kept honking and honking I didn’t go but it kinda frustrates me how impatient people could be. I got the middle finger afterwards and the F word just glad I was there so the kids could get on the bus safely.
I think you just found a cause that needs a leader... go get em, give em hell till it's overturned!
I'd like to be called in on these. As a Trooper I was pulling over 4 or 5 at a time. I even had a motorcycle that I caught up to that went by at about 200, by the time I got turned around they were 2 miles away, it was more luck that I caught them when they finally thought they were safe. Having an aircraft above could also help alot.
F*cking unbelievable that people fly past a school bus stop sign! 😡
That is MJ, he's still alive.
If they have the manpower to have cops on the bus the cops can sit in their patrol cars and deter law breakers or even catch them themselves
They should go straight to jail, not a fine...
This is a good practice by state police, but, the 'bad' also has to be reversed...In Houston, Tx where I live, school bus drivers are known to speed as much as 35 mph, or MORE, above the speed limit all over Houston, The worst place for this going on is in North Houston, just southwest of Bush Airport by Aldine School District buses.

Think before you respond, please.
The word they'll spread is "don't get caught" not "don't do it."
We need something like this in California! Too many people are in such a hurry that they don’t realize they could kill a kid
Have a safe and careful day. God bless all kids to make it safely to school and home.
No, when the bus stops, pull to the middle so other cars cannot go around it.
It's such a small inconvenience for the safety of our children
If it was a family member of yours you'll feel exactly the same so yes it's those little kids. 😂😂bad drivers. If you drive by a stopped bus. Should be 1 year suspension.
Cops should be shadowing school buses every school day to catch stop sign runners. What else do they have to do at 7:00 in the morning?
Need cameras on the school busses! Also need TAGS on front and rear of vehicles to catch the violators!
Where I live they want to do it, but we’re debating it for cost reasons I believe (the previous government was notarious for wasting money on stupid things but not this..... the amount of people it would catch would pay for itself fast! (the fine goes to 2k and starts at 490)

Yep and people want to increase the speed of the trains putting more people at risk
If you made the “fine” 60 days suspended and 2nd time license gone forever. Add all the money you want to charge. The same should apply for cell phones and dui

In New York state at least there are days when state police follow our buses and then there is a runner the lights go on and they are chased down.
Dr. Zoidberg I don't know if it is the whole state, but at least the Rochester area and it is only a few days of the school year so rarely done and the amount of busses followed depends on how many units they have so not every bus is followed.
$500 and you caught 3 out of 11... sounds like you should increase the ticket.
Make it mandatory for all school busses across the country (both U.S & Canada) to have HD cameras on the front and rear of the bus that activate the moment driver activates the flashing lights warning motorists that the bus is about to stop. Then any footage of violators can be sent off to traffic enforcement and dealt with properly.
wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait I explained it before if a bus stops in a four-lane Street and it's on the right side. the drivers in the left lane shouldn't have to stop
All traffic has to stop unless there is a physical raised barrier
They should do this in the Bronx and Yonkers
Chasing that money so they can get more lights on their cars.
Eleven vehicles passing a school bus with its stop arm extended within 30 minutes could indicate a problem.
Amanda Jarrett was with Wood TV 8 in Grand Rapids Michigan and I am so happy to see her gone that voice of hers is so irritating I had to mute my TV no loss to Michigan 😂
the driver kinda looks like michael jackson.
I'm not denying they have reason to do it, clearly with " I believe in few cases this is needed". So, what are you getting on about? My problem is with this local police force abusing their power, and not giving people a fair chance. Again, at a stop light you have at least 3 seconds when it's yellow, and 15-30 feet of a clearance. They clearly did not give that to all these drivers. It would be stupid to think that means though that there aren't any lunatic drivers who need stopped. Derp.
Ticketing drivers that pass the bus while the bus is in the act of stopping is ridiculous. There has to be a buffer in place somewhere. It would be the same as having street lights go from green straight to red, and ticketing those motorists that refuse to lock up their brakes to stop. However, the yellow is added as a grey area for those too close to the intersection. Same should be implemented for school buses. This video is just showing how police exploit a school buses deficiency.
MY SUGGESTION PUT LOWER RAILROAD CROSSING BOARD WITH Stop Sign ATTACHED IN MIDDLE.JUST LONG ENOUGH TO STOP THEM INSTEAD OF FRONT Of Bus PLACE ONE NEAR REAR AND FRONT !!!!!!!!!🤗🤗🤗🤗
Every bus should have photo cameras like the once they have at the street lights. If they can catch people at a red light and build him a ticket I’m pretty sure they can manage to put one on schoolbuses
Steph Steph itd pay for it self as well....
THIS IZ A VEEERE GOOD IDEA!! They should do this all the time evrewhere!
What an AWSOME idea!!!!!
state patrol doin a lot of good out there. Great job yall
Instead of riding along on the bus, the officer should've been following behind in an unmarked cruiser. None of them would've gotten away....
He was radioing ahead to his colleagues in the area to look out for these drivers.... they do it for texting drivers too...
