An attempt to cheat on the theoretical driving test with a mini camera and headphones ended up in the hospital for a 25-year-old in northern Italy. According to the police, a tiny loudspeaker through which someone had told him the answers to the exam questions had to be removed from the young man's ear canal. An inspector noticed him because of his unusual behavior and called the police.
The young man was also equipped with a mini camera that was connected to his cell phone and hidden in his jacket. He then took photos of the tasks and sent them to an accomplice, who told him the solutions over the headphones.
»The intervention of a doctor was necessary to remove the tiny button from his ear without causing injury. “It was hidden dangerously deep in the ear canal,” police said.
After he was discharged from the hospital, a complaint was filed against the young man. The police took his equipment.
