Court in California Funnels Private Info To Mexico

Here's an outrage reported by The Orange County Register in California.

Orange County's Superior Court contracts with a company that uses workers in Nogales, Mexico, to do the data entry of traffic tickets.

The court uses Cal Coast Data Entry, a company that has a facility in Nogales, Mexico. Information from tickets which would include drivers' license numbers, car license numbers, birth dates and addresses are scanned at a facility in California and sent electronically to a Mexican facility.

Court officials defended themselves by saying transfer of ticket information was by electronic encryption and the company has state-of-the-art security.

"The company and the staff they employ are dedicated to keeping the public's data secure and safe," the statement said. "The court wants to ensure the public that private data is safe."

What kind of nonsense is this? In these times of terrorist threats and illegal alien invasion why are we giving the private data of American citizens to foreign nationals? Why isn't the ACLU all over this like white on rice?

My favorite part of the article is, "The Nogales facility has 24/7 security and the staff are required to undergo a national felony background check. Nogales employees are also certified by the Sonoran State Police, the courts statement said."

A national felony check in Mexico? What a joke. The Sonoran State Police? That's a bigger joke. It's well established that Mexican law enforcement has little accountability and lacks the trust of the people living there. Drug cartels have so much power in Sonora, the largest newspaper chain in Mexico decided to throw in the towel there. Only an ignoramus or an idiot would defend such an arrangement.

Once again, another example of how poorly the government protects American citizens and how unconcerned they are about protecting this nation.
