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 Monday the 2nd day of December 2019 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 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, Drivers and Conductors to ensure compliance as stipulated under the Transport Authority and Road Traffic Acts and Regulations. 
I along with the team assigned were conducting vehicle stop and inspection along Swansea Main Road in the parish of Clarendon.  At about 12:58 pm I observed a White Toyota Probox registration number PJ1098 coming toward the direction in which I was standing. I executed the number one signal, the driver complied, and I approached the vehicle. No clear destination markings were visible on the vehicle only a pink May Pen and dash sign were at the bottom of the Driver’s door and it could hardly be distinguished. I requested his vehicle documents to include: Road Licence, Motor Vehicle Registration Certificate, Fitness Certificate, Insurance Certificate, Badge and Drivers Licence. He did not produce a driver’s licence, however he identified himself as Roy Garib from Race Track, Clarendon. 
He was wearing a Cream shirt with the May Pen Taxi Association Logo from a blue shirt sewn onto the shirt and a grey perforated jeans pants, which was not the prescribed uniform he was to be wearing. 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. Four adult passengers who were identified to be paying passengers were observed in the motor car and there was no off-duty/chartered sign. He produced all his documents except his driver’s licence and badge. Based on questioning it was discovered that he was in the process of obtaining a driver’s badge. It was observed on the insurance certificate that Mr. Garib was not covered as the driver. I cautioned Mr. Garib and informed him of the offences and that he would be prosecuted for not wearing the prescribed uniform, Operating without a PPV Insurance and Improper destination markings. Summonses were issued, prepared and served accordingly to appear before the May Pen Traffic Court on Wednesday March 25, 2020. The summons was read over to Mr. Garib. He accepted and left. Pictures were taken using a Samsung Galaxy J7 Smartphone and taken to the transport Authority Swansea Satellite office where they were printed and placed on file with my initials so they could be easily recognized.
