The rollout of an electronic court filing system in North Carolina has triggered a class-action lawsuit. The suit claims problems with the tools have resulted in unlawful arrests and prolonged detentions.
Since the system, known as eCourts, and one of its components, a case-management program called Odyssey, were rolled out in four pilot counties in February, there have been significant slowdowns in high-volume district courtrooms. That is where attorneys and people representing themselves go to quickly resolve traffic tickets, seek domestic violence protective orders and to get their cases continued.
In 2019, following a bidding and selection process, the North Carolina Administrative Office of the Courts — or AOC — signed a $100 million contract with Texas-based Tyler Technologies to develop and implement eCourts as a replacement for the state’s outdated 1980s-era mainframe computer and paper-based file system.
But the lawsuit filed in federal court on Tuesday claims eCourts has led to constitutional violations and that such issues were entirely foreseeable and, thus, avoidable.
“There have been instances where Tyler Technologies has rolled out similar software in different states over the last decade where people have been wrongfully arrested, over-detained, re-arrested on charges that they thought they were cleared,” said Zack Ezor, an attorney with the North Carolina law firm Tin Fulton Walker & Owen, and a representative of the two named plaintiffs in the class-action suit. more
“To err is human, it takes a computer to really foul things up.”

Still, it replaces a previous system, and has been used in other states, but the “injury” claims are for problems in other states. A disconnect there.
Still, how do the J6 detainees get justice?
And, Epstein didn’t kill himself.
Many FBI agents need to be in Jail along with the J6 Protesters, until that happens there is no justice in America.
Yeah itz digital all right… The continued harrassment of Conservatives with the single digit of the Left
Nothing will be done with the J6th POW’s (apologies if this is too much of a reach) unless and until we get a powerful President that is actually for the people and for the Constitution.
From where I sit, Trump is the only one that fits the bill.
