Internal court e-mails show that the DeKalb County Recorders Court has lost track of hundreds of thousands of citations, costing the county and state possibly tens of millions of dollars in uncollected fines.
The e-mails, obtained by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution through the Georgia Open Records Act, show that a two-year communications failure in the computer system has caused citations to sit unresolved in case databases.
No one knows how many unresolved citations exist, but an internal memo from a consultant estimated the value of uncollected fines at $90 million to $135 million. Recorders court officials
dispute the figures, but had no idea how much money was lost.
