SUMMARY: In Florida, new school bus cameras have recorded over 55,000 drivers passing stopped school buses, leading to hefty fines. Investigative reporter Kat L. Gron highlights issues in Hillsboro County, where drivers claim they were unfairly ticketed and lack options to contest their citations in court. Many argue that the system feels like a money grab, as the school district and camera company profit from fines without a functioning legal process for appeals. Despite generating over $1 million in fines, the fairness and effectiveness of the program remain in question, with concerns about the safety of children and drivers’ rights.
