Zusammenfassung:	The present invention relates to a device for detecting and identifying school bus stop arm violations. The device includes a sensor positionable on a school bus for detecting the presence of a moving vehicle in a violation zone adjacent to the school bus. A detection mechanism detects the extension of the stop arm on the school bus. A control unit is operable with the sensor and the detection mechanism and provides a control signal indicating the presence of a vehicle in the violation zone when the stop arm is extended. A camera which is responsive to the control signal photographs the moving vehicle in the violation zone.
