School Bus Cameras Crack Down

Over 3,000 drivers got tickets in Duval County last month for passing school buses with stop arms out — thanks to new AI-powered cameras — totaling nearly $719K in fines. But after officer reviews, over 800 tickets were tossed. Most violations occurred when drivers went the wrong way — still illegal unless there’s a wide median. The goal? Student safety. Nationwide, 90-95% of offenders don’t get a second ticket — suggesting they learn fast. Officials wait until full school year to judge effectiveness. One 79-year-old is challenging his ticket, claiming the bus was on private property — and hasn’t heard back. Police say contesting tickets is your right — instructions are available — and if you’re still unsatisfied, contact the school board police.
