    The system broke down, and seven innocent people died because of it.

    How the RMV missed Volodymyr Zhukovskyy’s Connecticut OUI bust

    “No RMV personnel appear to have been assigned the task of reviewing the ATLAS-generated queue for unprocessed (commercial driver’s licenses),” stated the report. ” … A queue was found of 365 notices reflecting serious offenses requiring manual review, which included the notice from Connecticut about Zhukovskyy.”

    it was an obvious thing to happen, just when it was going to begin..

    there WILL BE MORE, especially from the next of kin of the dead.

    i hope this will permanently BURY the driver and hos half arsed employer.
     
    Moving Forward Thanks this.

    Also, could they not sue ICE? I know suing the government is tricky, but by all accounts it looks like ICE should have revoked his visa long before this happened.

    i am not sure ICE was even aware of this crackhead?

    if so, i can't explain why not sooner.

    i do know, it was in the news, the govna of MA is really ticked at the RMV, and from what i gather, many suspension notices were in "storage"..for what ever reason...now aproxamately 5,000 suspension notices are being mailed out....

    If not they should have been thanks to a previous conviction he had. Like I said I dunno how realistic it would be to sue.
    No matter what the system broke down in this case and needs to be fixed so it doesn't happen again.
     
    Moving Forward and buddyd157 Thank this.

    i won't forget what the toyota service manager told me one time, when i had repeatedly complained about his mechanic's lack of knowledge popping on a hub cap..he said to me...."i'm only as good as our last company meeting"..

    what am i saying here..???

    to your statement..."No matter what the system broke down in this case and needs to be fixed so it doesn't happen again"

    oh, it'll happen again, this i am sure of...if NOT up here in NH, maybe New Mexico, CA, GA, where ever.

    if these asinine states DO NOT FOLLOW the CDLIS rules and report like they are supposed to, many more will die.
