> Huh? As a parent with kids who take the bus, people ignoring the flashing lights on buses absolutely does matter.

This doesn't stop that. And the penalty is too low to stop this. Nor does this target the people running these lights.

I'd prefer to stop it from happening rather than merely fining people.

Further, to my direct point: you can literally respect the flashing lights and stop at buses and still get penalized for this.

So why do you want to punish people for obeying the law?

> Bus drivers call the cops on the cars who do this already. What evidence do they have, other than the license plate?

If they can get the license plate sure. But they rarely can. And they don't, which is why it rarely goes to trial.

I'm curious, do you want to stop this or just let people make money off this scheme? As a parent with kids, I'd think it would be the former, but you are arguing for the latter.
