Baltimore County school transportation officials have installed cameras on county school buses to get nice souvenir photos of jerkface motorists who just race on by as school buses stop to drop off or pick up kids (hereinafter known as "students.")
At first, police only handed out warnings - law enforcement's version of a school deficiency slip - but since November 4, maleficent motorists have been opening their mailboxes at home to find a real $250 ticket in there amidst the junk from Omaha Steaks, Ollie's Bargain Outlet, Old Navy, and O'Reilly Auto Parts.
So far, they've sent over 7,400 citations for this asinine and potentially homicidal behavior. Last year, before the advent of the cameras, they wrote 148 citations.
Don't even try to tell me you didn't know you had to stop your car to allow students to get on or off their buses. The flashing sign sticking out of the side of the bus tells you to STOP 🛑.
I know, you're in a hurry to get to the office for that all-important conference call with the home office, or to get little Agnes to the orthodontist, but just STOP for a stopped school bus, please.
