Antoinette Thompson States,
I am a gazetted Route Inspector since November 1, 2019 employed to the Transport Authority and attached to the Swansea Satellite Office, Osbourne Store, Clarendon. My duties as an Inspector include the monitoring and regulating of public passenger vehicles and prosecuting for breaches of the relevant Road Traffic enactments. 
On Saturday the 18th day of January 2020 I reported for duty at 9:00 am, I was briefed accordingly by my supervisor and dispatched on a summons operation that was scheduled to take place on the said day. I was accompanied by fellow inspectors, members of the Jamaica Constabulary Force attached to the Transport Authority and a Justice of the Peace for the parish of Clarendon Ms. Roye.  All members of the Transport Authority and Jamaica Constabulary Force were appropriately attired in our respective uniforms. My duties for the day entailed Inspection of PPV’s documents and drivers to ensure compliance as stipulated under the Transport Authority and Road Traffic Acts and Regulations. 
I along with the team assigned were driving along Swansea Main Road in the parish of Clarendon.  At about 1:55 pm when I observed a White Toyota Probox registration number PK7922 coming from the Porus direction and heading toward the direction in which I was standing. I executed the number one signal for the driver to stop and he complied. I approached the said vehicle, introduced myself and requested the driver produce the vehicle documents to include: Road Licence, Motor Vehicle Registration Certificate, Fitness Certificate, Insurance Certificate, Badge and Drivers Licence. There was no off duty/chartered sign affixed to the dashboard of the said vehicle. The driver produced all documents except his driver’s badge. The road licence was also photocopied. Based on conversation it was confirmed that he did not have a badge.
 Four passengers were present in the motor car who confirmed that they were paying fares. There were also unauthorized Graphics on the front Windshield of the motor car which Stated “JUGGERNAUT.” The driver was also not in the prescribed uniform. He was wearing a WHITE t-shirt with a light blue jean shorts. I cautioned the driver. I informed him that the prescribed uniform consists of a short sleeve white, blue and cream cotton/polyester blend shirt with the logo of the May Pen Taxi Association affixed on the left breast pocket and plain black or dark blue pants/jeans. 
 I pointed out the offences of Excess Passengers, Unlawful Graphics and Failure to wear Badge and Uniform. I informed him that he would be charged. I also informed him that the Graphics on the motor car was not authorized as it is not on his road licence I showed him this as well. I asked him what steps he had taken towards getting his badge and he stated he did not start the process as yet.
 Summonses were issued, prepared and served accordingly to appear before the May Pen Traffic Court on Wednesday May 27, 2020. The summonses were read over to Mr. Graham. He accepted and left. A Photograph of the graphics present on the vehicle was taken using a Samsung J7 Smartphone and taken to the Transport Authority’s Swansea Satellite office where it was printed and placed on file with my initials so they can be easily recognized.
