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 Thursday the 25th 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 Halse Hall in the parish of Clarendon.  At about 3:36 pm I observed a Honda Stream 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 Race Course 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 Norbert Williamson of Raymonds District, Clarendon.
He was wearing his prescribed uniform. Six 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. Williamson 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. All documents received were found to be up to date. I cautioned the driver and informed him of the offence and that he would be prosecuted for operating contrary to the terms and conditions of his road licence condition 13(no taxi globe).
I informed the driver that the globe should be permanently affixed to the motor car. A Summons was prepared and served accordingly to appear before the May Pen Traffic Court on Wednesday July 26, 2023. The summons was read over to Mr. Williamson who accepted and left.
