Well, this is disturbing, but not surprising.
The Duval County Sheriff's Office, Jacksonville, Florida, busted five people who cheated on their commercial driver's license exams using hidden cameras and earpieces.
Here's more from First Coast News in Florida:
First Coast News uncovered evidence that cheating on DMV tests for commercial licenses is happening in Jacksonville. Five men have been arrested in connection with the scheme. Their charges --felony charges including communications fraud and unlawful license applications. Investigators say the men used hidden phones and earpieces to cheat on DMV tests. One man is [sic] was sentenced in April to eight months behind bars. One was turned over to ICE. The other three completed felony pre-trial intervention and court records show their cases were dismissed.
We're dismissing cases against people from other countries caught in the act of cheating on a commercial driver's license test? In Florida?
I think we need DeSantis to pass a new law, make this behavior a felony to get it to stop.
Authorities say the cheating scheme allowed drivers who could not understand English to obtain commercial licenses, putting the public at serious risk. Sergeant Dylan Bryan with the Florida Highway Patrol calls it 'organized fraud' and warns that these operations may extend across the state.
Sgt. Bryan praises the employees at the testing locations for reporting suspicious behavior when the men wiggled in their chairs to position the iPhone cameras.
