Computer processing of Orange County traffic tickets is being done in Mexico. For more than a year, Orange County Superior Court has been using a company called Cal Coast Data Entry to process approximately 500,000 traffic tickets annually. The paper tickets are electronically scanned by Cal Coast in Cerritos and the encrypted data is then sent for processing to a company facility in Nogales, Mexico. This story generated a number of complaints to the Court which defended it’s outsourcing of this data by stating that the Nogales facility is a secure site and all employees must pass criminal background checks by Mexico’s Sonoran State Police.
