was cancelled because the A2 driver's license he bought was found, and a major case of illegal online purchase and sale of driver's licenses was found, and 49 people were arrested.
A year ago, Yang Pengli from Pingxiang County, Xingtai, Hebei Province, bought an A2 driver's license for 50,000 yuan, was cancelled by the traffic management department for illegally obtaining a driver's license. He repeatedly asked the agency why the cancellation was cancelled and the refund was fruitless.
In September 2020, the police in Pingxiang County opened a case for investigation and arrested several suspects, including the main culprit Wang Zhenfu. According to the suspect's confession, after they found the driver's information that they had passed away but had not yet cancelled their driver's license, they used the photo of the license to make a fake ID card, and then used the fake household registration certificate of "dual household registration caused by historical reasons". From the relevant departments that were not strictly reviewed and checked, they transplanted the driver's license information to the name of the license purchaser.
The driver's license for a deceased driver is called "the immortal book" by the transportation industry. Once the original issuing machine is concerned about the driver's license, the license will be invalidated. According to the Pingxiang County police, from 2017 to 2019, Wang Zhenfu's gang members committed cross-blade crimes involving a total of 96 driver's licenses. The people involved in the case cover 36 cities in 18 provinces, including Hebei, Heilongjiang, Jiangxi, Henan, Shandong, Anhui, Hainan, etc. The case was included in the 2020 provincial supervision case by the Hebei Provincial Public Security Department.
On November 15, 2021, the Pingxiang County People's Court ruled that Wang Zhenfu and 49 others were guilty of forgery, alteration, and buying and selling ID documents, and sentenced them to fixed-term imprisonment of two years and six months to two months of detention and four months of suspended sentence, and fined ranging from 30,000 to 1,000 yuan.
On November 26, the police officers in charge of the case of Pingxiang County Public Security Bureau told the Beijing News reporter that two police officers involved in the case had notified the local Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision. At present, Wang Yue, a policeman from the Public Transportation Branch of the Shijiazhuang Public Security Bureau, who was involved in the case, has been released on bail by . Zeng Lingwen, instructor of Vehicle Management Second Office of Haikou Public Security Bureau, Hainan Province, has been detained by the Haikou Municipal Supervision Committee.

"valued" of 50,000 driver's license:
cases led to a gang selling driver's license
Yang Pengli, 33 years old this year, once drove an tractor almost all over the country. If the driver's license was not suddenly cancelled, no one knew that his A2 driver's license, which could be found on the Traffic Management Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, was actually a certificate bought by money.
Yang Pengli introduced that he has an semi-trailer . Because he does not have an A2 driver's license, he hires two drivers to travel for transportation all year round. In order to save money, he thought of getting the A2 driver's license early to drive for transportation himself.
But A2 driver's license is not something you can get by taking the training exam. In accordance with the revised "Regulations on the Application and Use Management of Motor Vehicle Driver's License" in April 2016, if you apply to add tractor-driven vehicles, you must have obtained the qualification to drive a large truck for more than three years, and have not recorded a record of 12 points in the last three consecutive scoring periods before the application. In other words, only after obtaining the driver's license for B2, you will be eligible to apply for an additional A2 book after three years of obtaining the driver's license.
Yang Pengli heard from the circle of friends of the freight driver in Pingxiang County that Wang Zhenfu, an intermediary engaged in the handling of driver's licenses and handling violations in the county, can directly apply for an A2 driver's license. Thinking that it was difficult to increase the driving force, Yang Pengli, who decided to "take a shortcut", contacted Wang Zhenfu and applied for a certificate for 50,000 yuan.
A week later, Yang Pengli got the driver's license from Wang Zhenfu. He found that the driver's license showed that the issuing authority was the Traffic Police Detachment of the Heihe Public Security Bureau of Heihe City, Heilongjiang Province. Afterwards, Yang Pengli and Wang Zhenfu went to the Vehicle Management Office of Xingtai Public Security Bureau of Hebei Province, applied for a driver's license to change the file and settle down, and replaced the driver's license issued by the Traffic Police Detachment of Xingtai Public Security Bureau of Hebei Province. Three days later, he checked his driver's license information from the 12123 online platform of the Traffic Management Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security and paid the final payment of 10,000 yuan.
Yang Pengli said that he drove around the country with his purchased driver's license and was also investigated and punished by the traffic police for traffic violations. The traffic police can also handle driver information from police and deduct points for violations.
On June 15, 2020, Yang Pengli suddenly received a call from the Vehicle Management Office of Heihe Municipal Public Security Bureau of Heilongjiang Province that he was deregistered for illegally obtaining his driver's license. After hanging up the phone, he found that his driver's license information could no longer be found on the traffic management website.
"Wang Zhenfu said that because I had not taken the exam, the information on the driver was removed. The information could be uploaded in a month, so I asked me to continue waiting for the news." Yang Pengli said that a month later, he still could not find his driver's license information. When he went to the Xingtai Vehicle Management Office for inquiries, he was told that his driver's management file had been sealed and locked, and there was no hope of re-acting, and he would not be allowed to apply for a driver's license within three years.
After asking Wang Zhenfu for a refund many times but failed, Yang Pengli reported the case. Wang Zhenfu and many others were arrested one after another for suspected of forging, altering, buying and selling ID documents.
Pingxiang County Public Security Bureau’s prosecution opinion shows that the investigation found that Wang Zhenfu bought and sold 26 driver’s licenses and 10 failed attempts to sell driver’s licenses; Zhang Fengchang bought and sold 20 driver’s licenses, Lou Anyuan bought and sold 9 driver’s licenses, and the gang committed cross-incitations in total, 96 driver’s licenses.

"one-stop" fraud:
Synthesize fake ID cards, buy fake household registration certificates to set up certificates
Wang Zhenfu, a native of Matouzhai Village, Pingxiang, is in the offline position in the gang. After being arrested, he confessed that he was mainly responsible for contacting the buyer of the driver's license terminal and collecting driver's license information that had not been cancelled when the person died.
Wang Zhenfu's deceased driver's driver's license information comes from a boss named Hui Xing, who repairs a mobile phone in Shijiazhuang. According to Wang Zhenfu's explanation, Xie Xing knew that he needed the driver's license information for a driver's license. Xie said that his connections could retrieve driver's license information from the public security network that was dead but unregistered. For each driver's license information and fake ID card for the buyer of the witness PS, the fee was 1,500 yuan. Afterwards, Wang Zhenfu sent a one-inch white background photo of the buyer to Xie Xing, who was used as a fake ID card for PS.
Xing Xing explained that the driver's license information of the deceased driver was provided by Wang Yue, a friend of the public security system. He clearly told Wang Yue that the information retrieved was used as a driver's license change. For each information retrieved, he gave Wang Yue a 1,000 yuan bonus fee. From March 2018 to the incident, Wang Yue provided him with 18 related driver's license information.
Xing synthesized the ID card based on the deceased driver's ID number, home address, name, ID card issuing authority retrieved by Wang Yue, and the one-inch photo of the witness buyer provided by Wang Zhenfu. The combined ID card picture was sent to Wang Zhenfu via WeChat.
Pingxiang County Public Security Bureau police officers in charge of the case said that before synthesizing the ID card, the suspect will compare the age and appearance of the buyer and the deceased. As long as the difference is not big, they can basically match it successfully.
Wang Yue, a policeman from the Public Transportation Branch of Shijiazhuang Public Security Bureau. He confessed to the case that he had indeed inquired about population information for Xie Xing through the public security traffic management network. During the Spring Festival in 2018, Xie Xing asked to help check some information such as ID numbers of people with A2 and C1 driver's licenses, , saying that it was for relatives to use it.
Wang Yue also told me that he helped Xie Xing query information and confiscate the benefits. The WeChat transaction record between Xie Xing and him was that Xie Xing returned him to a loan of 15,000 yuan.
The police officer in charge of the case said that at present, Wang Yue has been released on bail for suspected forgery, alteration, and buying and selling ID documents. His suspected problems have been notified to the Discipline Inspection and Supervision Group of the Shijiazhuang Public Security Bureau for further investigation and handling.
Police investigation found that in the process of illegally buying and selling driver's licenses, the gang members needed to synthesize fake ID cards on the one hand, and on the other hand, they also purchased fake household registration certificates with the public security organ's official seal from the Internet to prove that the purchaser and the deceased driver are the same person and have two household registrations.
A co-inmate Qin Shimin, from Yuzhou, Henan Province, was detained for forging, altering, and buying and selling ID documents two years ago. This time, when he was admitted, in August 2019, when he was handling the procedures for two driver's licenses, he asked them to make two household registration certificates to prove that the information on the driver's license of the witness and the deceased were the same person.
After the incident, Qin Shimin contacted a fake certificate on the Internet. The two parties agreed to 100 yuan for each household registration certificate. After he sent the information of the buyer and the deceased driver's license to the person who made the fake certificate, a few days later, he received the fake household registration certificate with the official seal of the public security organ.

Division of labor is clear:
The entire single line contact between gangs
Pingxiang County Public Security Bureau found out that Wang Zhenfu purchased a driver's license and had two online purchases. One line is Zhang Fengchang from Binzhou City, Shandong Province, and the other line is Lou Anyuan from Harbin, Heilongjiang Province.
Wang Zhenfu confessed that he and the two online items he went online with were met through the "National Car Service" WeChat group. In the early days, he bought 15 driver's licenses from Zhang Fengchang. For each certificate, he transferred 39,000 yuan to Zhang Fengchang's bank card. Until October 2018, the certificate sold by Zhang Fengchang was revoked on the traffic management website, and the driver who bought the certificate was also restricted from applying for a driver's license for three years. At that time, many people came to ask for the money for the certificate. He asked Zhang Fengchang for a refund and was blocked by the other party.
Later, Wang Zhenfu asked Zhang Fengchang for more than one source and was told that for each certificate, Zhang Fengchang only took 200 yuan of benefits from it, and the rest of the money was transferred to the online, but the online connection was also interrupted.
Zhang Fengchang was admitted to the case. He couldn't remember how many certificates he had obtained for Wang Zhenfu, and he had no online contact information. The police retrieved evidence of Wang Zhenfu's transfer record to Zhang Fengchang, showing that he transferred a total of 600,000 yuan to Zhang Fengchang. There was a problem with the online entry of
, and Wang Zhenfu opened the second entry to apply for a certificate and went online. Wang Zhenfu confessed that from March 2018 to July 2019, he bought 7 books from Lou Anyuan at a price of 42,000 yuan per driver's license.
file materials show that Lou Anyuan's certificate is launched by Chen Haoqiang, an agent for vehicle management business in Huaibei City, Anhui Province. Lou Anyuan confessed that every time he received the certificate application information and transfer money from Wang Zhenfu, he collected 9,000 yuan of agency fees, and transferred the remaining money and information to Chen Haoqiang.
The police found out that the intermediary and the intermediary maintained a single-line connection during the entire certificate application process. After receiving the certificate application information and money mailed from the offline line, Chen Haoqiang fought through four-story intermediaries including Chiping County, Liaocheng, Shandong and Yongjia County, Zhejiang, and arrived at Wang Yeke, an intermediary in Haikou City, Hainan Province at the last stop.
Wangyeke, from Chengmai County, Hainan Province. He confessed that based on the driver's license information provided by the deceased, the deceased's driver's license was first transferred from another place to the Vehicle Management Office of Haikou City. Afterwards, based on the ID card information of the buyer and the fake public security agency household registration certificate, the driver's license information of the deceased will be changed to the name, ID number and home address of the witness. During the settlement of the driver's license and the application for a driver's license change, many places where the signature is required are the names of the parties involved in Wang Yeke's signature.
Wang Yeke confessed that from August to September 2019, he had handled a total of 14 driver's licenses, all of which passed the approval procedures of Zeng Lingwen, instructor of Vehicle Management Office 2, Haikou Public Security Bureau, Hainan Province. At the beginning, he charged a fee of 500 yuan for each certificate, including a fee of 300 yuan for Zeng Lingwen. Later, Zeng Lingwen proposed to raise the price, and he charged a fee of 1,000 yuan for each certificate approval.

fake certificate cover, passed the verification and supervision loophole:
exposed review and supervision loopholes
After the incident, Zeng Lingwen, instructor of Vehicle Management Second Office of Haikou Public Security Bureau of Hainan Province, told the police officers in charge of the case that he had indeed approved the driver's license change business for Wang Yeke.
Zeng Lingwen told the police officers in charge that around August and September 2019, Wang Yeke, who specializes in vehicle management agency in Haikou City, came to his office and brought some procedures to handle the change of the motor vehicle driver's license, involving changing the name and ID number of the person on the driver's license, as well as the driver's address information. He asked Wang Yeke if the person who changed the driver's license information had come. Wang Yeke said that he had come, but it was not convenient to come in outside the office building. Later, he had complete review procedures and approved the change.
The police officer in charge of the case asked Zeng Lingwen if he knew there were fake certificates and fake documents in the change procedures. Zeng Lingwen said, "I asked Wang Yeke, and he said that these procedures were all true. I couldn't recognize the true or false. Anyway, the procedures were complete and approved.”
On November 26, 2021, the relevant person in charge of the Vehicle Management Office of Shijiazhuang Public Security Bureau of Hebei Province told the Beijing News reporter that in general, if you apply for a change in the driver's license information business, you need to be present for substantive review and verification. For example, inquiry about the driver's reasons for the two household registration and the residence of two household registrations, and even issued a household registration certificate, proving that the two are the same person, for telephone verification, and whether this certificate has been issued, These measures can effectively plug the loopholes in changing the driver's license.
Zeng Lingwen was further dealt with by the Haikou Municipal Public Security Bureau for suspected crimes of forging, altering, and buying and selling ID documents. On November 20, 2020, the Haikou Municipal Supervision Commission has taken detention measures against Zeng Lingwen.
police officers in charge of the case introduced that the social problem reflected in the case is that the suspect buys and sells his ID documents through the Internet, and the documents can be verified from the public security intranet. Certification can handle traffic violations and deduct points from , which is extremely confusing and has a small cost of crime. The driver who purchases the certificate drives a large vehicle on the road without taking the exam, which poses a major hidden danger to road traffic safety. In addition, some public officials do not review the driver's ID files in detail, and it has exposed that the supervision is not in place.
At present, Yang Pengli has been revoked by the public security department for illegally obtaining a driver's license, and according to the 2016 edition of the Ministry of Public Security's "Mobile" Article 13, Paragraph 8 of the Regulations on Application and Use of Vehicle Driver's License, if the driving license is revoked for less than three years in accordance with the law, you may not apply for a motor vehicle driver's license.
Yang Pengli said that originally spent money to buy a driver's license to hire a less driver in the car. Now, it not only did not save expenses, but it was also released on bail for the violation of the law, and I regretted it.
