Heartland reports that a Michigan lawmaker has proposed a bill to allow school buses to serve as mobile traffic enforcement cameras, which will help boost revenue for financially distressed Detroit Public Schools.
State Sen. Bert Johnson introduced Senate Bill 852 to allow DPS to collect traffic fines using traffic cameras mounted on school buses.
Detroit Public Schools would get to keep most of the revenue from the traffic fine collections, with a portion being diverted to a private contracting business that would be responsible for operating the camera system.
