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 Monday the 10th 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 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 Williams field in the parish of Manchester.  At about 12:06 pm I observed a Toyota Voxy registration number PM0599 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 of the motor car, 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 Mandeville – May Pen route were present on the front doors of the motor car. He was identified as Kevin Chin of Danks District, Chapelton, Clarendon from the road licence he produced.
Six adult passengers who were identified to be paying passengers were observed in the motor car and there was no off-duty/chartered sign. He only produced a road licence to me. I cautioned the driver and again requested his documents, to which he stated “mi a di owner fi de vehicle mi nuh have mi documents” I informed him of the offences of Failure to wear uniform, failure to wear badge, failure to produce insurance certificate, failure to produce motor vehicle registration certificate, failure to produce fitness certificate, failure to produce road licence and failure to produce drivers licence.
I informed him that he would be prosecuted for the offences of Failure to wear uniform, failure to wear badge, failure to produce insurance certificate, failure to produce motor vehicle registration certificate, failure to produce fitness certificate, failure to produce road licence and failure to produce drivers licence. 
The driver was not clad in his prescribed uniform. He was wearing a dark blue t-shirt and blue jeans pants which was not the prescribed uniform he was to be wearing. The prescribed uniform consists of a short sleeve white, blue and cream cotton/polyester blend shirt with the logo of the May Pen Taxi Association affixed on the left breast pocket and plain black or dark blue pants. I informed him that he should be in his May Pen Taxi Association shirt and plain black or dark blue pants. I also made queries about his driver’s badge which he said he had, I informed him that he was to be wearing the same. Summonses were prepared accordingly to appear before the Mandeville Traffic Court on Wednesday December 8, 2022. The summonses were served upon him to appear before aforementioned Court to answer for these same offences.
