That was an example to attempt to explain that these cameras are not calibrated for distance and do not distinguish cars that actually pass legally stopped school buses and cars that are simply next to school buses.

Lots and lots and lots does not verify that the law was followed with regard to the bus driver's notice of stopping or as to the location of the car.  Just as with the speed cameras, calibration is important in this process as to hold the cars accountable.  Without verification, these citations can not hold up in court and fines aren't collected.

If you like fines based on a company model that is designed to funnel money to people in prison, then you love this plan.  Other drivers are apparently not falling for this model.[/quote]

I like fines based on the idea that drivers should obey the law by stopping for school buses that are stopped.

Montgomery County police issued 54,458 citations to drivers who illegally passed stopped school buses during the 2018-19 school year. Please provide information to support your assertion that people are disputing the citations in large numbers and/or not paying.[/quote]
