The Orange County Superior Court in California is outsourcing the processing of traffic tickets to a California company that sends the information through a Nogales, Mexico, subsidiary, raising public concerns of identity theft and complaints of language problems that allegedly lead to months of administrative errors in processing paperwork.
The controversy broke this week on KFI AM-640's popular John and Ken radio show when an unidentified law enforcement officer called the show and broke the news.
Many listeners of the show were outraged to learn information from traffic citations was being sent to Mexico, where Mexican workers had complete access to a driver's personal information.
The next day, calls and e-mails from angry listeners besieged the Orange County Board of Supervisors.
In a first attempt to stem the growing controversy, the Orange County Superior Court issued a press release affirming that since March 2006 the court has outsourced the processing of traffic ticket citation data to Cal Coast Data Entry, Inc., a company headquartered in Cerritos, California.
The Cal Coast website affirms that the company operates an office in Nogales, Data Center de Nogales.
The Orange County Superior Court press release further explained that Cal Coast scans Orange County traffic tickets electronically in its California office, but the data is transferred electronically in encrypted form to the company's Nogales facility where the data is entered into a computerized database by Mexican workers.
The court's press release tried to reassure the public that Cal Coast's Nogales facility is a secure, state-of-the-art facility with 24-hour-a-day, 7-day-a-week security guards, as well as video cameras and facility access restricted to badge holders.

In a just world, one or more people would lose their jobs over this.
I hope somebody sues the crap out of them over this.
Considering the fines for tickets these days, you’d think they could manage to take care of this locally themselves...
This is just madness...outsourcing such info to a foreign country. This isnt cheap transistor radios
No such info should be divuldged to a third party, which is what OC CA is doing
Don’t worry. All these problems will take care of themselves when the US aborbs Mexico into the Union...
"Slip-and-fall lawyers flock to OC."
In a just world, one or more people would lose their jobs over this.

Ha! We could then outsource those jobs to mexico too!
some insider must have been paid ALOT of money for this.
I also suspect this is part of the MOTOR VOTER fraud scheme in california.
