Bus Camera Bill
February 9th, 2012 by flanewsAbout 9-thousand drivers blow by school bus stop signs every year in Florida.
Their carelessness puts children’s lives at risk. State Senator Oscar Braynon has a plan to cut down on the number of stop sign runners. Braynon filed a bill that would allow school districts to place cameras on the outside of buses to catch stop sign runners. He says 10 kids die every year in bus stop sign crashes.
“If we could just save one of those then I think this legislation is worth doing because all we are talking about is putting a camera on side of the bus to monitor people running stops signs, something you shouldn’t be doing anyway,” said Braynon.
Republicans in the House who oppose red light cameras, also oppose the bus camera bill. They have concerns about people’s privacy.
