Someone wants us to know that the OOCEA may be involved in a cover-up. We received this information anonymously, but will leave it up to the public to investigate:
Whenever it rains, EVERY time it rains, the VIC’s (Violation Information Computer, computers that store the violations for the lanes) crash and stop responding to the the NuVENuS (Network Violation ENforcement Server) which would then store the violations for review using the iMARS (Image Manipulations And Review Station). The violations never make it to the server and are deleted by a conscious action.
Instead of copying the violations off of the VIC’s, easily done, and manually inputting them into the review queue they do what is called a “Set Nums” short for “Reset the Numbers.” This basically means they reset the locally unique violation number to “1” on the VIC so all the existing violations are overwritten. There is even a website designed to reset the numbers remotely so they don’t even bother to see if they can fix the VIC first; they just reset the numbers illegally. Depending on the lanes the VIC is monitoring this can be upwards of 4,000 violations. A VIC can monitor up to 4 lanes and it takes days for them to get to the VIC to see if it can be fixed if they even bother. Normally they just “set nums” the VIC repeatedly. Often the number of deleted or ignored violations is much greater as there have been VIC’s on the COSMOS Daily Report that have been defective for months; even years.
They know the system is broken but just let it slide. They are well aware of this problem and ignore it even though they have been warned that this is a violation of the law. Specifically Joann Chizlett, Director of IT, and Lisa Lumbard, Manager of Accounting, have been warned on several occasions that this is a violation of the law and both refused to properly address the manner in an ethical and legal way. They are breaking the law and should be held legally accountable.
TransCore is also aware of the issue as they are the ones actually perpetrating the crime during maintenance but they are “just following orders” to make sure they don’t lose their contract.
