Client got a $250 citation for school bus violation in Westbury.

Oyster Bay school bus appears to stop on turn lane at a place where Rte 25 is six lanes across (plus two turn lanes), 50mph, and there is no light or crosswalk. There are only businesses where it stops.

First, it is insanely dangerous to expect cars to stop in eight lanes of a busy road. Second, the circumstances suggest that Oyster Bay is using empty school buses to troll for violations. The video shows four cars passing, none stopping (or probably seeing). I have never seen cars stopping for a school bus on Rte 25 busy sections.

Client could pay the $250, or remove from TOB enforcement court to federal court alleging constitutional violations (vagueness, excessive fines) and counterclaim for RICO violation, and maybe a class action joined for good measure.

Anyone start down this path and can share information?
