You don’t know that you’re not supposed to pass a school bus? Stop passing school busses[/quote]

Cool. So all traffic on Montgomery County roads must come to a complete halt every time a school bus is on the road.  Never pass a bus? Never?  
School buses own the road and all traffic must stop to clear the roads for them? [/quote]
If they're lights are on an the stop flag out, stop. What's so hard about that?[/quote]

You this stupid? So the bus can throw out the stop sign without warning and you are next to the bus and get a ticket.  No warning. No compliance with Maryland law on warning from bus. You automatically get a ticket.  The bus camera scammers love that!  Makes them very rich.  [/quote]

This is what happened to us. We were in traffic and next to bus. Bus put out stop sign, we got ticket even though we never moved.

It's all bullshit

This is a known problem with this scam. The cameras aren't calibrated for distance and can never verify if the bus complied with the law on stopping.  A bus can flip out the arm and a ticket is issue. The company is allowed to send through 20% of tickets that aren't actual violations and the police don't have the staff to review each one. That puts it on the drivers to take a day off work and go to court on the one day a month those cases are held. Can't take off work? You pay the $250.  Win win for MCPS and the scammers. [/quote]
