New Law Would Equip School Bus Stop Arms with Cameras

A new bill recently introduced in Suffolk County would allow school bus stop arms to be equipped with cameras.  Lawmakers hope that the cameras would deter drivers from passing school busses when the stop arms are deployed.  Additionally, the drivers who have been caught on camera passing the school bus when the stop arm sign is up would be subject to high fines.

This is a great firm of lawyers. Brett Bennett handled my case professionally. It took only one meeting to give me a clear explanation and guidance about my traffic ticket and after a month it was all resolved! I highly recommend it.
