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 15th day of November 2021 I reported for duty at 9:00 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 Mr. S. Holness was also present.  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 Halse Hall in the parish of Clarendon.  When at about 2:08 pm I observed a Toyota Coaster registration number PH4399 coming toward the direction to which I was standing. A police officer 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, Logbook, Badge and Drivers Licence. He provided all documents to me except for his driver’s badge. All documents received were found to be up to date.  There was no off duty/chartered sign affixed to the dashboard. From his Driver’s Licence he was identified as Shivron Maxwell of Grove Road, Mandeville, Manchester. I asked for the conductor who the driver pointed out to me and I approached him.
 I request the conductor produced his conductor’s badge to which he informed me he did not have one. I cautioned the conductor and requested he produce an identification and he only produced a TRN with the numbers: 126-467-102 and the name Lavel Mclean. He informed me that he was from a Mocho, Clarendon address. I informed him that the prescribed uniform consists of a grey bush jacket with black epaulettes on each shoulder and black pants with grey piping. I also informed him that he would be charged for the offences of failure to wear badge and uniform.  
I prepared summonses accordingly for the conductor to appear before the Lionel Town Traffic Court on Friday January 28, 2022 to answer for the aforementioned offences. The summons was read over and served to Mr. Mclean. A photograph was taken of him using a Samsung A72 smartphone to be tendered into evidence as a means to identify Mr. Mclean. He accepted and left. The photograph was taken to the Transport Authority Swansea Satellite office were it was printed and added to file.
