Lawmakers Push for Cameras on School Bus Stop Signs

If a group of New York lawmakers get their way, according to 6 News, cameras would be put on the stop sign attached to the school bus to capture every time a car illegally passes a bus.

“They treat the school bus as if it’s an object. They forget there’s flesh and blood precious cargo on board,” said one state assemblymember who supports the bill.

The legislation is in response to disturbing footage of a student being struck by a speeding car that flies by a stopped school bus with its lights on and sign out. The victim survived.
