Question regarding anpr usage

Hello all, I hope this isn't a stupid question. According to ICO's CCTV code of practice

"Appropriate signs must be provided to alert drivers to the use of cameras on the road network or in areas that vehicles have access to, such as car parks."

Are PPCs legally required to abide by this code of practice and can it be used as a point of defence if no such sign is in place?

    ANPR is not cctv
    From the Plain Language Commission:

    "The BPA has surely become one of the most socially dangerous organisations in the UK"
  • It's included in ICO code of practice.
