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 Wednesday the 7th day of September 2022 I reported for duty at 5:30 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, members of the Jamaica Constabulary Force attached to the Transport Authority, and a Justice of the Peace for the parish of Manchester.  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 Sedburg Main Road in the parish of Manchester.  At about 9:20 am I observed a Toyota Corolla Altis registration number PH4712 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 Silent Hill to Spalding Hill route were present on the front doors. 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. From his driver’s badge he was identified as Archard Junior of Huddersfield District, Christiana, Manchester.
The driver was clad in his uniform. Two adult passengers who were identified to be a paying passenger was observed in the motor car and there was no off-duty/chartered sign.  
He did not produce any of the vehicle documents to me. When questioned he stated that he did not have these documents to produce as an officer had taken these from him to write him a ticket from about the week before and he has not collected these documents. When I contacted the Police officer, He informed me the driver had left his fitness certificate, Motor Vehicle Registration Certificate and his Insurance Certificate which he sent photographs of. I cautioned the driver and informed him of the offences and that he would be prosecuted for failure to produce his road licence and failure to produce his driver’s licence. 
Discretion was used and he was warned as it pertains to the offence of failure to produce his insurance, fitness and motor vehicle registration certificate. Summonses were prepared and served accordingly to appear before the Christiana Traffic Court on Friday November 11, 2022. The summonses were read over to Mr. Junior.  He accepted and left.
