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 Friday the 21st day of October 2022 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 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 Spur Tree in the parish of Manchester. At about 9:56 am I observed a Grey Toyota Voxy registration number PL0813 coming toward the direction in which I was standing, I executed the number signal to stop and the driver slowed down put on his indicator, then drove off as I approached the said vehicle.
 I sought assistance from Constable Mitchell who was an officer present on the duty who assisted in getting the same vehicle to pull over. We approached the motor vehicle and I introduced myself to the driver. I requested he produce the vehicle documents to include: Road Licence, Motor Vehicle Registration Certificate, Fitness Certificate, Insurance Certificate, Badge and Drivers Licence. He did not comply he wound up the window and sat in the car. The police officer then spoke to the driver to which after much cohersion he stated that he had no documents. He was identified to be Rohan Hill of Grove Place, Manchester by my colleague Kadica Black who had charged him some days prior.  He was clad in his prescribed uniform.	
There was no off duty/chartered sign affixed to the dashboard of the said vehicle. The vehicle had graphics present which I could not determine if they were authorized at the time. Six passengers were counted in the vehicle who were all confirmed to be paying passengers. I cautioned the driver and informed him that I had stopped him to which he stated “Yes but mi nuh have no reason fi stop fi nuh transport when mi a guh bout mi business suh mi nuh stop. Weh mi a stop fah mi inah me uniform and mi don’t excess.” I pointed out the offence of disobeying an inspector and warned him for prosecution. 
I proceeded to prepare a summons for the offence of disobeying an inspector. The summons was issued and prepared accordingly to appear before the Mandeville Traffic Court on Thursday December 8, 2022.  The summonses were then read over to Mr. Hill who drove off before being served. At 10:59 am whilst along Peppers, St. Elizabeth, Mr. Hill was served the same summons.
