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 10th day of August 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 New Longville in the parish of Clarendon.  At about 3:24 pm I observed a motor car registration number PM3578 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 Anderson of New Longville, Clarendon from previous interactions I have had with this same driver.
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 did not produce any of the documents requested. I cautioned the driver and again requested his documents, to which he stated “mi nah show unuh mi documents none a unuh caa get back mi documents.” I informed him of the offences of failure to produce insurance certificate, failure to produce motor vehicle registration certificate, failure to produce fitness certificate and failure to produce drivers licence. I warned the driver for prosecution for these same offences to which the driver hissed his teeth, produced only the road licence and still refused to produce the remaining documents requested.
The driver then entered the vehicle and started the motor car and proceed to drive off the motor car. Summonses were prepared accordingly to appear before the May Pen Traffic Court on Wednesday November 22, 2023. 
At about 3:40 pm that same day whilst driving along Rectory Road I observed Mr. Anderson he pulled over and exited the vehicle along with the holder of the Road licence. I informed my supervisor who gave the driver of the service unit certain instructions, the unit pulled over and we approached Mr. Anderson. The summonses were served upon him to appear before the May Pen Traffic Court on Wednesday November 22, 2023 to answer for these same offences.
