I'm a school bus driver and we have these BusPatrol cameras on our buses. One of my stops in the morning is at a place where a divided highway becomes not-divided. In my state you don't have to stop for school buses on divided highways, but my stop is about ten feet into the not-divided area. Most people stop anyway but a lot of people don't. I've had people ask me whether they're supposed to stop or not and I have to tell them that I have no idea. The drivers are not involved with the cameras at all -- we don't make the determination of whether somebody gets a ticket or not and we're not told anything about how many tickets our cameras are generating.
