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 Friday the 12th day of May 2023 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 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 stop and inspection along Sandy Bay Main Road in the parish of Clarendon.  At about 2:56 pm I observed a Toyota Probox registration number PL3883 coming toward my direction. I executed the number one signal to stop and pull over to which the driver complied. I approached the vehicle. I cautioned the driver, asked if he was operating to which he stated “yes,” and requested his vehicle documents to include: Road Licence, Motor Vehicle Registration Certificate, Fitness Certificate, Insurance Certificate, Badge and Drivers Licence.  Destination markings for May Pen to Old Harbour route were on the front doors of the vehicle. There was no taxi Globe present on the roof of the vehicle. From his Driver’s Licence he was identified as Miles Marshall of Morgan Forest, Clarendon. 
He was wearing a grey t-shirt with the words “HILFIGER EST.1985 NEW YORK CITY” and light blue ripped jeans pants which was not the prescribed uniform he was to be wearing. The prescribed uniform consists of a short sleeve cotton/polyester blend shirt with the logo of the Old Harbour Taxi Association affixed above the left breast pocket and plain black or dark blue jeans pants. Four passengers who were identified to be paying passengers were observed in the motor car and there was no off-duty/chartered sign. I read through condition 13 of the road licence with Mr. Marshall and informed him of the offence of not having the taxi globe securely fitted onto the roof of the said vehicle.
He produced all his documents except his driver’s badge. Based on questioning he had not renewed same as he had outstanding tickets to be cleared up, discretion was used in this regard. All documents received were found to be up to date. I cautioned the driver and informed him of the offences and that he would be prosecuted for operating contrary to the terms and conditions of his road licence condition 13(no taxi globe) and failure to wear uniform.
I informed the driver that he should be in his Old Harbour taxi association shirt and dark blue or black pants.  Summonses were prepared and served accordingly to appear before the May Pen Traffic Court on Wednesday June 28, 2023. The summonses were read over to Mr. Marshall who accepted and left. Photographs were taken using a Samsung A72 smartphone and printed at the Transport Authority Swansea Satellite office. They were labeled with Miles Marshall 1 and 2 so they could be identified and attached to the file to be used as exhibit.
