Well as you know cameras are everywhere these days, and now you will find them on the exterior of some school area buses. Today (May 24th), Broome County s school bus stop arm camera program begins. It could bring a notice of liability fine of 250 dollars, if violated.
Some school districts participating include Binghamton, Johnson City, Chenango Forks, Chenango Valley, Maine-Endwell, Susquehanna Valley and Union Endicott among others, with more Broome County school districts soon to follow.
