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 Thursday the 19th day of October 2023 I reported for duty at 6:30 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.  All members of the Transport Authority and Jamaica Constabulary Force were properly 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 conducting vehicle inspection along Chapelton Road in the parish of Clarendon.  At about 3:04 pm I observed a motor car registration number PH6824 coming toward my direction. I executed the number one signal to stop and pull over to which the driver complied. I approached the vehicle along with a Police officer. Destination markings for the may pen to pennants route were present on the front doors of the motor car. I cautioned the driver and requested his vehicle documents to include: Road Licence, Motor Vehicle Registration Certificate, Fitness Certificate, Insurance Certificate, Badge and Drivers Licence. He was identified as Patrick Richards of Four Paths, Chapelton, Clarendon from his rivers licence.
The driver was clad in his uniform. Four adult passengers who were identified to be paying passengers were observed in the motor car and there was no off-duty/chartered sign.  
The driver produced all documents except his motor vehicle registration certificate and his fitness certificate. I cautioned the driver and again requested his documents, to which he stated “mi leave de mina di other car.” I informed him of the offences of failure to produce failure to produce motor vehicle registration certificate and failure to produce fitness certificate. I warned the driver for prosecution for these same offences. Summonses were prepared accordingly to appear before the May Pen Traffic Court on Wednesday January 24, 2024. The summonses were read over and served upon Mr. Richards to appear before the May Pen Traffic Court on Wednesday January 24, 2024, to answer for these same offences.
