BPA AOS Code of Practice - new clauses

For obvious reasons everyone has homed in on BPA Ltd.'s somewhat premature eviction of GPEOL from the latest CoP, but I haven't seen any comment on the completely new clauses 20.5b and 20.5c, which read as follows:
20.5b In deciding whether a payment ticket has been visibly
displayed on a vehicle you must do a thorough visual
check of the dashboard and windows.
20.5c You should not use wording on your plastic PCN
envelopes which implies that you are acting under
statutory authority. For example phrases such as ‘It is
an offence to remove …..’, should be avoided.
20.5b appears to rule out operators ticketing because the P&D ticket isn't in what they deem to be the right place or it's upside-down or somesuch nonsense. They must do a thorough check of the "windows", which implies all the windows, not just the dashboard and windscreen area. I would suggest that, by implication and extension, this applies to permits too.
As for 20.5c, OP's tend not to bother mentioning or posting pics of the plastic envelopes any more, but I'd bet that most of them still carry the "It is an offence..." codswallop.

I wonder if 20.5c includes not using yellow and black edging on the packet ? Ah .... thought not !"The darkest places in hell are reserved for those who maintain their neutrality in times of moral crisis." - Dante Alighieri0

Only "should be avoided"? Yes, PPCs - the BPA don't really want you to lie, but they're going to give you some wriggle-room because they know that you will.0
