Florida Probe Uncovers Migrant CDL Test Cheating With Hidden Cameras
30th August 2025
Florida investigators say some migrants have been using hidden cameras and earpieces to cheat on commercial driver’s license (CDL) exams, allowing them to operate 18-wheelers despite not knowing English, according to WTLV-TV and Breitbart.
According to WTLV-TV, applicants used tiny cameras to transmit test questions outside DMV facilities, where an accomplice provided answers through an earpiece. Police in Jacksonville recently arrested several migrants in the scheme. One man was sentenced to eight months in prison, another was turned over to ICE, and others had cases dismissed after court-ordered conditions.
Officials describe the cheating operation as “highly organized” and likely active nationwide. It comes amid a rise in fatal crashes involving non-English-speaking truckers.
