Bill to Let Detroit Schools Collect Automated ‘Photocop’ Traffic Fines

 

Sen. Bert Johnson introduced Senate Bill 852to let Detroit Public Schools collect traffic fines from tickets issued by automated “photo-cop” cameras attached to school buses, according to Michigan Capitol Confidential

The owner of a car whose driver illegally passed a school bus that was unloading or picking up children would be subject to a $300 fine, rising to $1,000 for the third and subsequent offenses. The fiscally troubled school district would get to keep the fine revenue, less a portion that would go to the private vendor contracted to operate the system.
