So, I think that\u2019s the best part about it. But if you\u2019re someone that\u2019s not paying attention, of course, you\u2019re probably going to get hit with a hefty fine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">According to the city, the schools chosen for cameras were selected because they are at high risk of incidents.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">\u201cI think it\u2019s a very good idea.
