re: Baton Rouge School Bus Tickets

The only ones that were dropped were those given to people on highways separated by a middle turning lane.

Louisiana law is contradictory regarding such streets- one law says you have to stop, whereas another says that such streets are to be treated as a median divided highway, which would mean you would not have to stop for a bus going the opposite direction.

I got a ticket back in November and was all set to argue my case this past April. Week before was when they threw out all the cases with similar circumstances, and I got a call saying I did not have to appear and that it had been dropped.

As for the whole camera thing as a whole. . . I'm okay if the police want to sit out and catch people and write tickets, but when they outsource the whole process to a 3rd party civilian company just looking to make a profit. . .

My fine was $300 and out of that, the police and school board were getting $50. The rest went to the company that owned and operated the cameras- what a bunch of BS.
