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 Pen flat in the parish of Manchester.  At about 9:05 am I observed a Toyota Isis registration number PK7061 coming toward my direction. I executed the number one signal to stop and pull over to which the driver complied. I approached the vehicle along with a Police officer. Destination markings for the Mandeville – Spalding were present on the front doors of the motor car. I cautioned the driver and requested his vehicle documents to include: Road Licence, Motor Vehicle Registration Certificate, Fitness Certificate, Insurance Certificate, Badge and Drivers Licence. He did not produce any of the documents requested. I cautioned the driver and again requested his documents, to which he stated “a police officer tek mi documents weh day and mi drive weh lef dem.”
 I informed him of the offences of 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 asked the driver why he did not comply with the requirements under law, and that he was required to produce same documents when requested as long as he was behind the wheel of PPV. The driver hissed his teeth and did not reply. I informed him that he would be prosecuted for 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 Summonses were prepared accordingly to appear before the Mandeville Traffic Court on Thursday December 8, 2022. The summonses were served upon him to appear before the aforementioned court to answer for these same offences.
