Does the traffic police have the right to check the automobile operation license and qualification certificate?

The traffic police don't check the operating license. Road transport permits belong to transportation administration, and only transportation administration should check them. It's okay to catch an empty car; Whether there is any goods in the car depends on the nature of the car you hit on your driving license. If it is a business, it will be severely punished without a business license. If it is self-use/non-operation, there is no penalty without an operation license.
