And governments love it because fines are limited source of funds to raise from people who can't fight back, instead of taxing the rich more.

Fortunately, there's a super-easy way for you to avoid getting a ticket for passing a stopped school bus while driving! Namely, stop for stopped school buses.

Not in Montgomery County! Bus Patrol cameras are giving out citations to drivers who aren't even passing a school bus on the road. The school bus can be pulled off in a parking lot and as long as the camera can see cars, they get citations! Huge win for Bus Patrol. Too bad for County drivers.

It's kind of a reverse lottery that helps fund our schools.

Yeah, no.

Roll your eyes over to East West Highway where citations are being given out every day by a MCPS school bus parked in a parking lot. Millions have been collected in that location and it's a well known scam among elected officials and neighbors.

LOL you know MCPS isn't the one making the profit. It's a reverse lottery that funds Bus Patrol and they say thank you very much!

There's some truth here. The 1400 East West Hwy stop does, indeed, generate a large number of tickets (roughly 1500 a year or 8 per school day, but I have no idea how often buses are stopped there). Source: https://dlslibrary.state.md.us/publications/counties/Montgomery/TR8-663(b)(1)_2022.pdf

But, the apartment building there, Lenox Park doesn't have a parking lot. The buses are in a short private circle off the road (see this reddit thread from someone who got a ticket: https://www.reddit.com/r/SilverSpring/comments/xoqsbq/be_aware_hidden_bus_stop_on_eastwest_you_will_get/).

Off the road. Not in the road and citations are still being given out.

Bus Patrol sucking cash out of drivers illegally.

Remember when there was a shortage of bus drivers and there was a hiring push? They got just anybody when nobody wants the job.

Easy on a quiet, obvious neighborhood street.

You’ll get rear ended and cause a pile up and earth in a busy, multi lane, two direction commercial street.
