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 23rd day of January 2020 I reported for duty at 6:30 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, a member of the Jamaica Constabulary Force attached to the Transport Authority and a Justice of the Peace for the parish of Clarendon Ms. Roye.  All members of the Transport Authority and Jamaica Constabulary Force were appropriately 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 a stop and inspection operation along Glenmuir Road in the parish of Clarendon.  At about 7:42 am when I observed a White Toyota Succeed registration number PG3311 coming toward the direction to which I was standing. I executed the number on signal to which the driver complied. I approached the said vehicle, introduced myself and requested the driver produce the vehicle documents to include: Road Licence, Motor Vehicle Registration Certificate, Fitness Certificate, Insurance Certificate, Badge and Drivers Licence. He complied, all documents received were found to be up to date. I observed that 1 adult passenger and about 6 children were present in the vehicle. the driver was also not in the prescribed uniform. He was wearing a blue shirt with grey and white stripes and a black pants. 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 black or dark blue pants. The driver was not wearing a badge. I cautioned the driver and pointed out the offences of Excess Passengers and failure to wear Badge and Uniform and informed him that he would be charged.
 I showed him condition four on his road licence which stated the number of passengers to be seated in the vehicle as four excluding the driver. As the children were under the age of Twelve, three were counted as two passengers. From his Driver’s Licence he was identified as Dervent Huntley of 2 Wellside Lane, Old Harbour, St. Catherine.  Summonses were issued, prepared and served accordingly to appear before the May Pen Traffic Court on Wednesday May 27, 2020. The summonses were read over to Mr. Huntley. He accepted and left. A Photograph was taken using Samsung J7 phone and taken to the Transport Authority’s Swansea Satellite office where it was printed and placed on file with my initials so it can be easily recognized.
