It’s an issue for cities across America: cars parked in bus lanes when they shouldn’t be.
Now, new AI camera technology is letting the buses themselves write tickets instantly.
Santa Monica recently tested the technology with their Big Blue Bus Line.
Last year, they provided 7.7 million trips, but not all were on schedule due to cars improperly parked or stopped in dedicated bus lanes.

During Santa Monica’s 45-day pilot, the system identified more than 500 potential violations. Each fine is nearly $300 dollars.
“We don’t make any more or any less depending on the number of violations that are captured,” said Territo.

So since it’s not criminal, I’m out of here! But paying the fine is criminal. Ok, now we are at the 6th Amendment requirement....
I thought it would be inevitable to use buses to catch traffic infractions. I’m surprised they didn’t already use them.
Am I allowed to sell directional EMP devices?
OUT OF YOUR CAR, Peasant!!! We have an earth to save! Cars are reserved for the big-shot elites like John Kerry.
How can this article NOT mention "climate." Are they slipping?
I thought ‘auto ticket cameras’ were already shot down.
A bus effectively takes 50 cars off the road but impacts traffic like 500.
Santa Monica is parking hell...Then add in all the low life...I could not wait to leave the last time I had to go there. Never again!☺
A simple Federal Law will END all of this crap, it could be done at the State level in each State also. Guaranteed Equal Protection Under The LAW.
There shall be NO LAWS granting any person or person an exception, exclusion, preference, privilege or immunity of ANY LAW.
If it is good enough for the serfs, it is good enough for the public masters.
They also willfully Allow outright criminals to practice their trade with impunity
Our goal is not to issue citations, but our goal is to change behavior.
Now D.C. has a west coast branch it’s all set.
