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 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 Standing along White Shop Road in the parish of Manchester.  At about 11:55 am I observed a Toyota Probox registration number PM0253 coming toward my direction I executed the number one signal to stop to which the driver complied and I approached. 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. The driver did not produce his road licence, fitness certificate, insurance certificate or motor vehicle registration certificate to me. Only his driver’s licence was produced which was found to be up to date. From his Driver’s Licence he was identified as Orandy Tapper of Spalding District, Clarendon. Checks were made using the TA system and his road licence details were located, based on the TA system the graphics present were not authorized this was pointed out to driver. I informed the driver that the globe was a requirement on his road licence. I informed him that his Badge must be worn once he is operating a PPV.
Destination markings for Spalding to Sanguinetti route were on the front doors of the motor car. He was wearing his prescribed uniform; however, he was not wearing his driver’s badge. There was no off-duty/chartered sign affixed, there was also no taxi globe affixed to the roof of the motor car. Four passengers who were identified as paying passengers were present in the motor car. There were the words “FROM NOTHING TO SOMETHING” present on the motor car. I cautioned the driver and informed him of the offences and that he would be prosecuted for, failure to produce documents to include Road Licence, certificate of Fitness, Insurance Certificate and Motor Vehicle Registration Certificate; unlawfully make or caused to be made graphics, warnings, or markings on a vehicle without written approval of the authority; failure to wear badge and having no globe affixed.
Summonses was prepared and served accordingly to appear before the Spalding Traffic Court on Tuesday January 23, 2024. The summonses were read over to Mr. Tapper. Who accepted and left. A photograph of the vehicle was taken using a Samsung A72, printed at the Transport Authority Swansea Satellite Office and attached to file to be used as exhibit.
