A sting: A bus pulled over. On came the lights and the swing out STOP sign.

So people coming the other way stopped even though this was a busy street and no kids were getting on and off.

The bus driver waved at the other drivers to come on by. So they did and a cop was parked on a motorcycle right behind the bus.

And the drivers that obeyed the bus drivers command to pass by were ticketed.

It was just a lesson to never pass a school bus with the lights flashing.

This worked a few times until they ticketed a lawyer. Then the city would up paying back everyone they had snagged in this manner.

But the bottom line? Go by the book, not by the instructions of some guy sitting in the divers seat of a bus who is making it up to suit themselves.

This was long ago and I can't remember the city except it was in the D/FW area.
