      In Ontario cameras automatically come on as soon as the busses flashing lights do, are your busses equipped the same way?

    my brother works for Gatekeeper systems. They're a company that specializes in camera systems for vehicles. They have tons of systems in use across North America that use stop arm cameras. If a car passes a bus with the stop arm activated three pictures are taken, the front license plate, the driver, and the rear license plate.

    Put an active camera to switch on when the signs out and off when it's not. Send them a ticket and have them show up to court mandated to talk to a Judge and explain it. It's no different that a speed camera. The difference being this is to save kids lives not Big brother!

    • @thehALomolov2
      @thehALomolov2 6 років тому +2

      Ahman Millener They'd also have to change laws and do public education campaigns first, where I am the cops set up speeding cameras, but the tickets got thrown out because by law they had to have proper signage up indicating of the camera thing ahead. So the law kinda forces the cameras to be a deterrent and only tickets those that don't care and speed anyway. When I lived in that area I never saw cops patrolling and everyone just breaker for the cameras... DUI was also socially acceptable there -_-
      So they'd have to change laws to allow for traffic enforcing cameras being installed on buses, proper signage of them being in use, public education campaigns to notify of the change, and then prove that it's a foolproof system that can't be screwed with.like Busdriver acticating the camera without the arm out.

      @Mike-sp6tt 3 роки тому

      Speed cameras are a deterrent they don’t hold up in court. As this is the highest moving fine that can be given, anybody would go to court and get it thrown out

  • @leobear1390
    @leobear1390 7 років тому +31

    This is a great idea. In my department we view infractions within close proximity of a school bus to be some of the more serious infractions, rarely issuing a warning.
    We've never gone as sneaky as this but it's definitely a good idea. People will be thinking twice before driving around like a ding dong near a bus full of our future.

  • @Marinexize
    @Marinexize 8 років тому +77

    why dont they just mount cameras like at red lights. violators get a nasty ticket mailed home and maybe required to show up in court amd explain why they ran the sign. personally i would be more embarrassed having to explain why i didnt stop.

    Next time...
    Simply have an "un-marked" driving in the front-pilot "position" ahead of the bus.. such that when the bus "stops" - the lead-pilot car can slow and crawl until about 50 - 100 yards further on .. after the bus stops, as that way - the cop in the bus only has to give the "lead" driver the two-way call, and that officer in the lead-car thus has a "free-run" at the speedster, because he's already ahead of the bus, and slowly moving .. thus an acceleration is all he needs to be "up-to' chase speed, by the time the illegal bus-passer get to them..

    Several years ago I was a taxi driver. Every now and then the local police would show up at the company and borrow some taxis. They were the spotters and as soon as they caught anyone breaking the law they contacted another officer in a marked police vehicle and you got some pretty flashing blue lights behind you. be careful out there because the police are undercover in more vehicles than just school buses and taxes.

    Something I would love to see when the stop sign deploys for a stop is under the bus, a spike strip that can adjust to two lane or four lane capability comes out as well. See how many red light runners will run then.

  • @TrailblazerDashcam
    @TrailblazerDashcam 13 років тому

    @NeOGlock They do. On most buses in my county there are two night-vision cameras mounted under the stop sign facing the back and front and when the 8-ways are activated they snap a picture when motion is detected. But the citation has to be made up manually- they haven't automated that yet! :)

    @cumminsisldd6050 11 років тому

    I live in California the procedure is that we activate our red lights take the keys out of the bus and cross the kids, we're out of the bus no longer than a minute. Also some of our buses have a park-brake feature which disables the air brake knob( I'll be happy to do a video demonstration If you like) so the kids can't move it. I can understand your worries but everybody is safe.

    I'd like to be called in on these. As a Trooper I was pulling over 4 or 5 at a time. I even had a motorcycle that I caught up to that went by at about 200, by the time I got turned around they were 2 miles away, it was more luck that I caught them when they finally thought they were safe. Having an aircraft above could also help alot.

    I watched a pick up truck pass a stopped school bus once and almost hit the kids who had just gotten off. They were walking oblivious and were going to cross the street in front of the bus. The kids never saw it coming but the bus driver and I did. We both laid on laid on our horns. The kids heard it and stopped quick but the driver never slowed or looked back in his mirror. Angels and miracles worked together that day.

  • @wessnyder117

    What i'm trying to get on about is this: People still need to stop for when kids are getting off buses. And, in drivers handbooks/classes, they say that pedestrians, no matter what age, are to be given the right of way.
    And the police in this were doing this due to complaint they received on drivers like this.

      Dr. Zoidberg I don't know if it is the whole state, but at least the Rochester area and it is only a few days of the school year so rarely done and the amount of busses followed depends on how many units they have so not every bus is followed.

    The question about the cussing was rhetorical. Whenever police are used in this situation then there a couple of reasons as to why: 1) Parents of theses kids are probably calling about the way some drivers are around the buses during unloading/loading of students.
    2) It is probably, also, due to some cases of accidents involving children leaving the bus.

    Make it mandatory for all school busses across the country (both U.S & Canada) to have HD cameras on the front and rear of the bus that activate the moment driver activates the flashing lights warning motorists that the bus is about to stop. Then any footage of violators can be sent off to traffic enforcement and dealt with properly.

  • @wessnyder117
    @wessnyder117 12 років тому

    Word of advice to all UA-cam users who are learning to drive or just started to drive. DON'T PASS A SCHOOL PASS WHEN THE SIGN IS OUT. You will be putting the kids or other passengers at risk. Some kids go in front the bus to get to the other side of the road, right in your path.

    Bottom line, there are children. Here is AZ the drivers I have seen, put on their flashing lights then stop the bus then put out the flashing stop sign.

About 3/4 years ago a crosswalk guard was run over and killed at a school crossing.

    This is a good practice by state police, but, the 'bad' also has to be reversed...In Houston, Tx where I live, school bus drivers are known to speed as much as 35 mph, or MORE, above the speed limit all over Houston, The worst place for this going on is in North Houston, just southwest of Bush Airport by Aldine School District buses. I have personally paced them doing 75 mph in the posted 45 mph areas. School police, bus barn bosses, and, school superintendents will do NOTHING!

    This school bus using and displaying the STOP sign is a pain in the ass and a waste of taxpaying motorists' time. The same kids would ride on the city bus and exit at the same location and sidewalk, but the city bus does NOT display the STOP sign. If kids can get off the city bus safely so can they from a school bus!

    They should go straight to jail, not a fine...

    Whats the point of the police riding on the bus if they only caught 3 out of 11 drivers?
