Um....not cool. I was pulled over for a DUI during the stated period - got out of it, but my info's in the system. Might be time to call my lawyer...

I'm guessing the person responsible for this thinks internet and intranet mean the same thing.

I'm tired of "my information" being horded by people who are both A) irresponsible with it and B) probably profiting off of it and not paying me.

The file containing names, Social Security numbers and dates of birth of people charged with minor offenses in 2006 and 2007 was on the Web site for 11 days before it was taken down Oct. 9.

Lawsuit!

Interim city chief information officer Kevin Ortell blames human error for the posting.

Wow! Kevin's a CIO and a rocket scientist!

The city is sending letters to those affected, along with information about how to protect themselves from identity theft.

STEP 1: Don't let the city post your personal information on their website!

flashfry		2008-10-16 05:11:18 PM

FTFA: "The city is sending letters to those affected, along with information about how to protect themselves from identity theft."

"...and finally, we recommend you move out of this twenty-exit cowtown and go somewhere with security processes and safeguards in place.

Signed,

City of Indianapolis"

Isn't the law that you have to prove someone actually got your info misused before you can sue the people that accidently made it available?

/not sure, just thought that is what I heard...

Right, because if you want to steal someone's identity, you want to go for a druggies'. Why mess around with someone with a good credit rating?

Right, because we all know that only people with bad credit smoke pot and drink alcohol.

But how do you accidentally post information to a website? Is there simply a choice between two buttons, one marked "encrypt in private storage" and the other "post to website" and then it all just happens?

If so, they need to move those buttons farther apart. And maybe while they're at it remove the command, "Bypass all security measures", that one always causes problems in the future.

I work in the office next to these people, kick replies, etc...

frizzlefrazzle		2008-10-16 06:22:23 PM

I live in IN and if the state is working at it's finest potential, those people can expect to get notification in about 9 months to a year. It's just one big **FARKING** quagmire. I really don't know why I stay here. Mebbe I'm afraid the next state I move to will be worse??

I just moved to Connecticut from IN where I grew up. Things seem to go faster here, but don't expect ANYTHING to be free. It cost about $120 just to get a CT driver's license.

Why yes, Mayor Ballard, that will be quite enough of that.

Is there some way you guys can contain your outdoor malls and $800 purse stores? They are starting to infest the south side. Thanks.
