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 Wednesday the 7th day of September 2022 I reported for duty at 5:30 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 Manchester.  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 Walderston main road in the parish of Manchester. At about 10:28 am I observed a Honda Stepwagon registration number PK5629 coming toward the direction in which I was standing, I executed the number signal to stop and the driver complied.  I approached the motor vehicle, cautioned the driver and introduced myself to the driver and passengers. I requested he produce the vehicle documents to include: Road Licence, Motor Vehicle Registration Certificate, Fitness Certificate, Insurance Certificate, Badge and Drivers Licence. He produced all items which were found to be updated except for his driver’s badge. From his driver’s licence was identified to be Shavorn Johnson of Walderston District, Manchester. He was clad in his prescribed uniform.
There was no off duty/chartered sign affixed to the dashboard of the said vehicle. Eight passengers were counted in the vehicle who were all confirmed to be paying passengers. I again cautioned the driver and I pointed out the offences of failure to wear badge and excess passenger 8/7 and warned him for prosecution. I showed him condition 4 on his road licence and read it through with him. Condition four stated that the seating capacity of the vehicle should be seven passengers excluding the driver. I informed him of the steps to take to obtain a badge. 
I proceeded to prepare summonses for the offences of failure to wear badge and excess passenger 8/7. Summonses were issued and prepared accordingly to appear before the Christiana Traffic Court on Friday November 11, 2022.  The summonses were then read over and served to Mr. Johnson who accepted and left.
