Cameras under clothes fail: Two caught cheating on driving tests in Bishkek

Authorities in Bishkek have apprehended two individuals who attempted to cheat on their driving license theory exams using sophisticated prohibited devices. The suspects were caught at the Alamedin department of the State Center for Vehicle Registration and Driver Licensing.

During the exam, it was discovered that the candidates were employing miniature cameras, cleverly disguised as buttons, along with transmitters. These devices were designed to broadcast images from the examination room in real-time, presumably to an accomplice.

Center staff immediately alerted law enforcement officials. The individuals, along with the confiscated equipment, were handed over to the authorities for further investigation and appropriate legal action. The State Center emphasized that theoretical driving exams nationwide are conducted in an automated manner, with artificial intelligence monitoring the process.

These automated systems identify candidates using biometric data and oversee the exam. The center reminded applicants that using prohibited technical means can lead to legal consequences and urged them to rely solely on their own knowledge to pass the tests.
