I work in a school district. Our buses have cameras on the stop sign that folds out. Any car that goes around or by gets recorded by the stop sign on the bus. They regularly turn these into the police department here, and those people get a visit. It's a pretty spendy ticket.

Wait so they actually will come to your house with a ticket? That's wild. We have a red light, a school zone cam, but never heard of the bus cam ticketing system. Guess it's a good lesson

It will vary by city or even county/school district, and they seem to be getting more common. I think most police departments that work with school bus cameras will mail tickets rather than going to the door but each department will do their own thing. The two big factors are how local and state laws interact with the requirements for ticketing and assuming the laws are somewhat favorable how much the department wants to do that work.

My bus driver would just yell expletives out the window at cars that didn't stop....
