BPA commenting on possible new protocols BBC breakfast

I was watching the above this morning when a discussion between
the host and a representative of the BPA came to the forefront.
BPA were really concerned that if they were to have Debt
Collectors fees removed from the process this would increase the
pressure on the courts and the use of Debt Collectors was
beneficial to those who had received Parking charge notices.
Those motorists could have a payment plan to assist them What
kind people they are.
They also felt that £100 should not be capped as inflation
affects their business model. Also they felt that motorists
would be prepared to pay this amount in lieu of paying parking
charges.
They felt that by raising the £100 fee that this would add to
road safety as cars parking irresponsibly on roads would use car
parks.This would prevent cars blocking the Ambulances, Fire
engines etc attending emergencies.
Also they were open to the consideration of mitigating
circumstances. If they are going to be judge and jury they could
possible move the goalposts no doubt.
What a joker but there was little push back from the
interviewer.

Almost begrudingly admire anyone able to say this with a
straight face.
These would be the same debt collectors that MHCLG described as
making "supernormal profits" of an average 63%.

Increasing the possible charge for
mis-reading/mis-understanding/parking totally as per signage but
ANPR says otherwise will reduce road parking?
Is this person nuts?
Wait...

Of course they are barking mad. The BPA are trying to convince
motorists that these parking charges are really for the-benefit
people parking.
The truth is they just want to make money knowing full well the
more tickets they issue the bigger the profits they make. They
are trying to make out that they do not wish to go as far as
county court to avoid clogging up the system. In other words
just pay up under any circumstances. I think not.
