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 Tuesday the 14th day of November 2023 I reported for duty at 6:00 am, I was briefed accordingly by my supervisor and dispatched on an intelligence driven roving operation that was scheduled to take place on the said day. I was accompanied by fellow inspectors acting covertly and in an unmarked vehicle. One team was tasked with the responsibility of gathering intelligence. The other team travelled in a marked service unit and was accompanied by members of the Jamaica Constabulary Force attached to the Transport Authority.  All members of the Jamaica Constabulary Force along with myself were properly attired in our respective uniforms. My duties for the day entailed inspection of vehicles suspected of operating as PPV without the requisite documents to do so, based on information given by a covert team, to ensure compliance as stipulated under the Transport Authority and Road Traffic Acts and Regulations. 
Based on information received from J. Poyser a team member who were travelling in the unmarked vehicle, the team was on the lookout for a grey Toyota Wish with registration number 2103KQ, it was seen setting down passengers, collecting fares, and soliciting passengers for the Spalding – Allison route. About 10:00am, I observed the motor vehicle described a grey Toyota Wish with registration number 2103KQ. Upon entering Spalding Town, I observed the vehicle in the vicinity of the Juici Patties outlet. I observed the vehicle parked along the roadway and the driver exited along with a male and a female passenger, who were passengers on board. I saw them giving the driver monies to include one hundred dollar notes. Before the service unit could come to a stop the said vehicle then drove off in the direction of the Total Gas Station. The vehicle was intercepted at this time and the police officers on board exited and approached the vehicle along with myself and other inspectors. I cautioned the driver and his vehicle documents were requested to include Motor Vehicle Registration Certificate, Fitness Certificate, Insurance Certificate, and Drivers Licence. He produced all documents. From his Driver’s Licence, he was identified as Wycliffe Morgan of James Hill, Clarendon.

There were 6 passengers being set down from the motor car at the time it was intercepted at the total gas station. They were questioned in the presence of the driver; they each stated that they paid fares of $150 JMD per person for their journey from Allison to Spalding. The passengers were each picked up at different locations on the route Allison to Spalding; they were not familiar with each other and were terminating in Spalding.
The driver produced all his documents except a road licence and a PPV insurance. Based on questioning and checking of the Transport Authority’s system, there was no road licence application made for that vehicle. The driver stated under caution that “mi jus carry up Waa one load and a jus 150 mi collect from them.” I cautioned the driver once more and informed him of the offences and that he would be prosecuted for operating without a Road Licence and No Public Passenger Vehicle Insurance. I began to prepare a warning notice for the driver and a wrecking service was called. The warning notice was prepared and given to the driver. The driver was asked to visit the Transport Authority Mandeville office between the hours of 8:30am and 3:00pm at his earliest convenience. 
On Tuesday November 14, 2023 about 4:04pm, Mr. Morgan visited the Transport Authority Mandeville Office where summonses for no road licence and no ppv insurance were served on Mr. Morgan by me to appear before the Spalding Traffic Court on Tuesday January 23, 2024.
