I don't remember if it was for one day or a week, but they said all buses caught at least one person driving by the stop sign and a couple had 10 or more. They have about 1200 buses in the whole district.

They need to nail those people, and fine them enough to get their attention.
But don't hang them with a felony.

they may still be able to reprint the ticket if you remember the amount and the time

Don't get me wrong, the law is a good one, but the penalty seems way out of line for the offense.
(I know, I know ... "If but one young life is spared...")

I always stop for the buses, and I don't speed through school zones, at all.
That includes the one in Haltom City across 377, where I typically see one kid cross per semester.maybe
And it angers me to see people violating those laws.
But a felony?

The fine for the passing the stopped school bus ticket is one of the most expensive. Used to be $1000, the only one more expensive was doing it in a construction zone(fines doubled).

I heard on a news report on Friday, I believe, that the 2nd offence is a felony.

Wow, that's pretty cold!

You might ask ask about deferred adjudication (first).
