Reasons why bus scameras are a safety fraud and really about money.
- Per ticket fee. This should never be allowed! Flat fee prevents vendors from citing dubious or falsely accusing owners.
- The hearing is a joke and if you challenge “$660 in the red for passing a stopped school bus, then exercising his right to defend himself.” Charging people over double is 100% about raising cash by discouraging legitimate challenges! Everyone should have their day in court!
- The so called “reform” bill that lets districts run it bypassing courts is a abomination!
- Citing people going opposite direction on a divided Highway legal in most states except NY which doesn’t advertise that fact on warning signs that I have seen.
- Citing people while bus is still moving or before sign comes out.
- No law requiring the only cite after 10 second yellow, then red only after 0 mph and stop sign out. The vendors are citing what they want to maximize tickets.
- No requirement that all political donations not only by vendors, but all employees and lobbyists related to the industry be posted. They just report what the vendors give. No one would do what the vendors want for what was reported. One wonders what else is being given.
