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 Tuesday the 5th day of March 2024, I reported for duty at 10:00 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.  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 standing along Main Street, May Pen in the parish of Clarendon.  At about 11:57 am when I observed a Grey Toyota Probox registration number PL7394 coming toward the direction in which I was standing. An officer 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 windows on the vehicle were heavily tinted which prevented inward view. The word “ANTISOCIAL” was written on the front windscreen of the motor vehicle along with two palms with 3 fingers raised, there were also butterflies on the trunk of the motor car. The driver exited the vehicle and I observed he was not in uniform nor was he wearing his drivers badge, he was in a red shirt and perforated jeans shorts. There was also no checkered streak affixed to the motor vehicle. There was also no globe fitted to the roof of the motor car.

I cautioned the driver and again requested his documents, to which the driver only produced a picture of the front his driver’s licence.  I pointed out the offences of failure to produce road Licence, failure to produce Motor Vehicle Registration Certificate, failure to produce fitness Certificate, failure to produce Insurance Certificate, unlawfully installing or causing to be installed tint on the glass of a PPV, unlawfully make or caused to be made graphics, no streak affixed, no taxi globe fitted to the roof and Failure to wear Uniform and Badge. I informed him that summonses will be prepared for the same offences. The driver stated “duh mi a beg yuh nuh gimme suh much summons, mi nu have it!” I asked him about his driver’s badge to which he stated he had a record and was trying to get an expungement. I asked about his taxi globe and he stated that he was about to purchase it on that day. I informed him that the tint should not be such that it prevented inward view according to the Transport Authority amendment regulations 2005.  Contact was made with the Office and details of his rod licence sourced, which revealed that the wording “ANTISOCIAL” nor any other graphics was authorized for the vehicle. I informed the driver that the graphics on the vehicle were not authorized and that condition 14 on his road licence stated that a streak should be present on the motor vehicle. I informed the driver that he should be in his Vere taxi association shirt and plain black or dark blue pants.
I used my discretion regarding the failure to wear driver’s badge and having no globe-affixed offence and informed the driver of the steps to take in order to acquire a badge. Summonses were issued and prepared accordingly for all other offences to appear before the May Pen Traffic Court on Wednesday April 24, 2024. These summonses were read over and served to Mr. Williams. He accepted and left. Pictures were taken and printed at the Transport Authority Swansea Satellite office where they were placed on file and labelled as Robert Williams.
