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 9th day of August 2022 I reported for duty at 8:00 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 Mrs. D. Staines-Grant.  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 Convent Avenue and Williams Avenue intersection in the Parish Clarendon.  At about 1:27 pm I observed a Toyota Probox registration number PG9718 coming toward my direction. I executed the number one signal to stop and pull over to which the driver complied. I approached the same 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 Palmers Cross route were on the front doors. From his Driver’s Licence he was identified as Shane Hanson of 8 Hamilton Drive, Palmers Cross, Clarendon. Three adult passengers who were identified to be paying passengers were observed in the motor car and there was no off-duty/chartered sign. 
He produced all his documents except his driver’s badge. Based on questioning he did not have a driver’s badge. 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 failure to wear badge while operating a public passenger vehicle.
A summons was prepared and served accordingly to appear before the May Pen Traffic Court on Wednesday October 26, 2022. The summons was read over to Mr. Hanson and the proper steps towards acquiring a badge relayed.
