School bus stop-arm cameras have proven to be an effective tool for protecting children by identifying drivers who illegally pass stopped buses. In this episode of TechMobility Topics, we examine how BusPatrol's technology improves roadway safety while exploring a broader question: where should the line be drawn between public safety and mass surveillance? We discuss the growing use of automatic license plate recognition, concerns over data collection, retention, and access, and why stronger guardrails may be needed as connected transportation technologies become increasingly common.
