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 2nd day of August 2022 I reported for duty at 8:00 am, I was briefed accordingly by my supervisor and dispatched on an enforcement 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 inspection along Bryants Crescent in the parish of Clarendon.  At about 11:46 am I observed a Toyota Isis registration number 5306KA. The vehicle was one that our covert team had been observing on previous occasions, picking up and setting down workers from the Sutherland Call centre. The vehicle was fully laden with passengers and the driver was seen entering on to Windsor Avenue. I gave the driver of the service unit certain instructions to which he followed the same vehicle on to Windsor Avenue. The vehicle was observed entering the parking lot of the May Pen Shopping centre also known as the mall, a total of six passengers were counted who exited the motor car. 
I approached the vehicle along with other inspectors present and Police officers. I cautioned the driver, asked if he was operating to which he stated “mi have a contract wid Sutherland to Carry workers” and requested his vehicle documents to include: Road Licence, Motor Vehicle Registration Certificate, Fitness Certificate, Insurance Certificate, Badge and Drivers Licence. No markings were present on the vehicle except for a sticker with the Words Transporter which was on the front bonnet. From his Driver’s Licence he was identified as Odain Jones of 33A Knowles Close, Mandeville, Manchester.

He was wearing the prescribed uniform he was to be wearing. The six adult passengers who were observed exiting the motor car were questioned in the presence of the driver, they each stated that the fares for their transportation was paid to the company by Sutherland, to which the driver confirmed. The driver also stated that he was to carry the workers to get their police records done and back to Mandeville.
The driver produced all his documents except his road licence. Based on questioning he did not finish his application process so he could not be issued with a road licence at the time. I cautioned the driver and informed him of the offence and that he would be prosecuted for operating without a Road Licence in contravention of section 61 (1) & (4A) of the Road Traffic (Amendment) Act 2005, Contrary to section 13 (2) (a) (v) of the Transport Authority (Amendment) Act 2005. The passengers were asked to take another transportation to their destination as the vehicle will be seized. I informed the driver that the vehicle will be seized. He was informed to visit the Transport Authority Swansea office by 2:00pm where he could complete his application process.
At 2:00pm Mr. Jones visited the Transport Authority Swansea Satellite Office, along with Mr. Andre Fletcher the owner of the vehicle. The warning notice along with a summons for no road licence were served on Mr. Jones to appear before the May Pen Traffic Court on Wednesday November 23rd 2022. The summons was read over to Mr. Jones and he was assisted with acquiring a road licence.  He accepted and left.
