It would be kinda unfeasible for the bus driver to start writing down each cars license plate that passes by it when the bus has stopped.

Except that's a rare thing to happen because it's a serious crime. Plus there's other people in the bus. When I was in school we were supposed to help take notes to identify any cars that passed when they weren't supposed to

Lol it's not rare at all. I'm a school bus driver and it happens multiple times on each run. It's not uncommon to have multiple cars pass me at a single stop.

And that's very good, but an automated system and video evidence is still better. It eliminates the unreliability of human memory and perception. While any false positives could be easily dealt with case by case basis as the video evidence can be used by both sides.

Though yeah whatever it's actually necessary or current system is already good enough is up for a debate.
