Falls Church Police Chief Mary Gavin told the Falls Church City Council tonight that since into effect last Oct. 1, there are already 201 fines charged to motorists in the City for violation of newly camera-documented failure to stop when school buses are stopped and flashing their lights to take or let off students in the City. At $200 a pop, these fines have cost violators in The Little City a whopping $40,200 in just six months.
Chief Gavin said that number doesn’t include 31 citations that were thrown out upon review because of the strict circumstances required to issue a citation, including that a bus must be stopped, flashing its lights and with children involved.
