Antoinette Thompson States,
I am a gazetted Route Inspector since November 1, 2019 employed to the Transport Authority and attached to the Southern Regional Office located at 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 14th day of January 2020 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 Ms. Roye.  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 documents inspection along Sunnyside in the parish of Clarendon.  At about 8:19 am I observed a White Toyota Coaster registration number PJ9703 coming toward the direction in which I was standing. I executed the number one hand stop signal to which the driver complied. I approached the vehicle where I observed that it was laden with passengers. I requested the driver’s vehicle documents to include: Road Licence, Motor Vehicle Registration Certificate, Fitness Certificate, Insurance Certificate, Logbook, Badge and Drivers Licence. He only produced his Road Licence and Driver’s Licence.
I cautioned the driver and questioned if there was a conductor on board and the driver pointed out him to me. I approached the conductor I observed that he was not in his uniform. He was wearing a grey jersey with white sleeves and “NATION 56” printed on the front, he was also wearing a black pants.I introduced myself and requested his badge. He stated “mi nuh have none.” I cautioned the conductor and asked for some identification and he could not produce same. The conductor collected fares from the passengers in the presence of myself and the entire team and gave back change, however when I questioned him why he was not giving any tickets he stated “nuh ticket book nuh inah di bus.”I informed him of the offences and that he would be prosecuted for failure to issue tickets, failure to wear uniform and failure to wear conductor’s badge.
I asked him his name and he gave same to be Zaire Morgan of Hazard Drive, May Pen, Clarendon. Summonses were prepared and served to appear before the May Pen Traffic Court on Wednesday May 27, 2020. He accepted and left. A photograph of Mr. Morgan was taken using Nokia N6 Smartphone .  I printed the photograph and attached it to the file with my initials so that it can be easily recognized.
