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 Thursday the 27th day of April 2022 I reported for duty at 11:00 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 stop and inspection along Main Street, May Pen in the parish of Clarendon.  At about 4:11 pm I observed a grey Toyota Probox registration number PJ2493 coming toward the direction in which I was standing. I executed the number one signal, the driver complied, and I approached the vehicle. Destination markings for May Pen to Springfield route were on the front doors. 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. From his Driver’s Licence he was identified as Dwayne Johnson of Hunts Pen, May Pen, Clarendon.
He was wearing a black jersey shirt and a black jeans pants, which was not the prescribed uniform he was to be wearing. The prescribed uniform consists of a short sleeve, navy and light blue, or white and yellow, polo and cotton/polyester blend shirt with the logo of the Vere Taxi Association affixed on the left breast pocket and black or dark blue pants/jeans. Four adult passengers who were identified to be a 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 it was discovered that his badge was expired and he had some uncleared traffic tickets to pay off to renew the same, discretion was used in this regard. 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 for not wearing the prescribed uniform, while operating a public passenger vehicle in contravention of Regulation 123 (a) Road Traffic Regulations 1938 in accordance with Section 13 (2) (c) of the Transport Authority Act 1987.
I informed the driver that the shirt should match the association affiliated with the road licence.  A Summons was prepared and served accordingly to appear before the May Pen Traffic Court on Wednesday May 24, 2023. The summons was read over to Mr. Johnson who accepted and left. A photograph of Mr. Johnson’s attire was taken using a Samsung A72 Smartphone, printed at the Transport Authority Satellite office and attached to the file with Dwayne Johnson placed on it so it can be easily recognized.
