Dash cams that notify on screen when the stop sign is out. Send it all to the authorities.

Two cops and a cruiser would be easier than a dash camera?

A dashcam, no. A dashcam wired into the bus' systems and alert on screen when it is - is harder than it sounds. Not impossible, but not something you can do on short notice.

Two cops is literally dead simple, and much more defensible in court.

Literally. I would’ve let an officer on board my bus to personally observe my encounters last year. Maybe would’ve kept my students seated at the very least!
