• Enfield Eyes Cameras, $250 Fines For Drivers Passing School Buses (patch.com) — Enfield officials are weighing a new camera system on school buses that would ticket drivers who illegally pass when the red lights are flashing, with a proposed $250 civil fine per violation. The Town Council is set to schedule a Sept. 9 public hearing on the ordinance, which would require police or trained staff to review footage and allow vehicle owners to contest citations or identify the actual driver.
