The BMV computers are spitting out bogus information to law enforcement officials. The State of Indiana website is down. I can’t wait to see what happens when the consortium involving FSSA chief Mitch Roob’s ex-employer and IBM gets ahold of the billion dollar FSSA contract to screen applications for welfare benefits.
At the moment, the BMV situation is the most pernicious. Sheriff’s Departments are being advised that the information from the BMV should be considered unreliable and, therefore, they can’t take appropriate action against violators unless they can confirm the information independently of the Bureau.
Hamilton County Sheriff Doug Carter says the BMV system accessed by dispatchers or officers’ mobile computers is spitting out faulty information that implicates drivers in offenses they never committed. Gov. Daniels says that the problem isn’t the BMV data, its faulty training of personnel leading to incorrect interpretations of the data. That’s a bit tough to square with Sheriff Carter’s statement that he did BMV records checks on six of his radio dispatchers as well as on himself and that every one of them was incorrect, showing, among other things that he had a defensive driving credit when he’d never been to defensive driving.
(Update: I’ve been told that some folks at the State House have access to the State of Indiana’s website. My suspicion is that there is some problem with a nameserver or somesuch.)
There were problems this morning reaching outside websites from state computers. DWD staff had a major problem accessing the new Trackone website which was poorly implemented with little training to track WIA/TAA students. Of course training plan applications for fall semester are due this week.
Yesterday evening I attempted to renew my plates online – big mistake. It would not accept my social security number as the owner of the vehicles. Nevermind that I’ve renewed in the past…
See, Jeff, what you don’t understand is that there is nothing wrong with the computer system. It’s not a problem caused by the Daniels administration, it is a problem caused by (choose any two):
A. Stupid Hoosiers and poorly trained police officers who don’t know how to use computers
B. 18 years of Democrat mismanagement
Just thought I’d try to help clear things up.
Just came across this while searching. The problem was ALWAYS with bad data, not with employee error. From testing all the way through to implementation on July 1st and beyond… BAD DATA.
YOU need to get it right!
