Recently, during the handling of a "black flying" case, the Hangzhou Xiaoshan District Public Security Bureau patrol brigade and the Guali Police Station found that the suspect Zhang submitted a approval form to a third-party platform with a doubtful official seal in the management department's approval opinion section. The police immediately obtained and sent the relevant seal for inspection, and the appraisal confirmed that the seal was illegally made. According to the confession of the suspect Zhang, he was commissioned to use a drone to help a friend take photos of the roof of a factory building. He did not have a drone operator's license, and the area concerned was a no-fly zone. Zhang searched on the internet and found someone advertising to help apply for a lifting permit, so he added the person as a friend and purchased the service. It was found that the suspect Zhu had used a forged official seal to provide paid services for drone no-fly zone approval across the country through online platforms, making a profit of over 50,000 yuan. Currently, Zhu has been criminally detained for suspicion of forging, altering, and trading national government documents, certificates, and seals in accordance with the law.
