### sec.40 Production or display of identity card
In exercising a power under this Act in relation to a person, a graffiti removal officer must—
produce the officer’s identity card for the person’s inspection before exercising the power; or
have the identity card displayed so it is clearly visible to the person when exercising the power.
However, if it is not practicable to comply with subsection (1) , the graffiti removal officer must produce the identity card for the person’s inspection at the first reasonable opportunity.
For subsection (1) , a graffiti removal officer does not exercise a power in relation to a person only because the officer has entered a place for giving an owner a graffiti removal notice.
