In California, the fine for passing a school bus that's stopped with flashing red lights is $1000.00
In most cases, traffic laws regarding passing a school bus with flashing red lights apply only on public roads. In a shopping mall, it's unlikely you'd get a ticket for passing a parked school bus with its lights on and no students or driver inside. However, it's always wise to follow any posted rules or instructions.

Red lights flashing on a school bus mean remain stopped until they are turned off.
If you pass a school bus when the red lights are flashing and you get a ticket, it is a moving violation and your insurance will more than likely go up.
I recently got a ticket for passing a school bus that was not flashing lights but was opening the stop sign as I was approaching the bus. I received my fine and almost fell back for knowing that my fine was $742. I appeared in court and now appealing the fine. It was not my fault that the bus was not flashing the lights.
