So what? You've already declared that you don't need a licence, so just shutting the door and saying nothing is pointless and meaningless.

Yeah, that’s on my bucket list. No luck so far.

@@brimkathstampex2306 Like your comment.

@@brimkathstampex2306no it’s no pointless he did the right thing and didn’t give them anything to use against him. Fair play to him

Do you declare you don't need a firearm's licence?

👍👍👍💯

They do. I audited TFL accounts. The first person in 10 years to do that. TFL are payng the met 600,000 a month to enforce £1.50 bus fare collection

​@@Nickle314 My daughter who lives in Islington told me the police get on the bus every day. That explains why. Have you seen the recording of that young woman they dragged of the bus with her young son crying for his mum while being held by a female cop with two brutes handcuffing his mum? And it turned out she had paid for her fare?

@@tal4546 I suspect that's rare. Here they turn up mob handed -12 in a gang. Lots get caught, plus they get a lot of illegals too. The problem is that in the background there are serious offences being committed. Driving on pavements, illegal motor bikes, no helmets, on the pavements. Assaults where people have to jump out of the way. Red light jumping too. So which is more serious? One woman on a bike got smashed by a car. 3 months in hospital. That will cost well over £100K. I think there needs to be a prosecution as well with a year in prison. Not for the car driver, they are innocent. The woman for jumping a red. A friend and neighbour was put in a wheel chair. Illegal e-motorbike on the pavement, hit from behind. The police won't stop it. Last monday they were ordering cyclists to cycle on the pavement so they could be safe. So to prove a point I walked down the pavement and a copper pulled me out of the way. Why? It's dangerous. So why are you ordering cyclists to put others at risk? He was rude too, so he's got a complaint. So will all of the others, for ignoring his actions. Now they know I have video, and I've requested all the info from them as part of the complaint. They know I have photos of all of their shoulder numbers. Will they supply it all? If not that's an offence too.

@@tal4546 TfL fund the Police to support the revenue enforcement teams. The woman who was detained failed to show proof of fare to the TFL revenue team even though she was required to. Then she refused to give her details to the police which is an arrestable offence. Even her own son told her to show proof of fare like every other normal human being on the bus.

"Should"

Don't they always? There above the law don't you know 😢

Police forces who say they cannot meet this particular request under the Freedom of Information Act because it would cost more than £450 to do so are lying. A simple database query would provide the answer to the question in seconds and probably cost less than £4.50, including letter preparation and postage charges. They do this to discourage further FOI requests from the same individual.

It took only a few yrs to accumulate a pile of 5inches of threatening letters from these goons, when I didn't have a tv.

Big Brother is watching you, as & when it pleases them to.

I agree. The doorbell is on the front door and I generally use the back door. They can watch what they want

Ring doorbells can be intercepted by the police and God knows who else. Wouldn't touch one with a very long pole.

​​@@andrewsingleton2710do you get to your back door from the same direction (avoiding the spy) every time, or does it log your movements? Do your friends and family? 🤔🤔🤔 what about your neighbours that walk past, you should (like B and B's etc who provide WiFi) look into your responsibility under the data protection laws, how often do you delete films of people who never consented? How long do you store THEIR information and for what reason? Could be very interesting, I might have to look at GDPR and the ICO for the responsibilities 😂 Maybe start reporting spy camera owners to the regulators 😂😂

Speaking of the goons, have you noticed there is a distinct lack of new footage involving door to door interactions with them. Are video doorbells deterring them, or are they giving up as they simply cannot cope with the workload of visiting an ever increasing amount of addresses that are ditching their licences?

That is very clever, I'd be interested to know if they ever do re-visit you.

I would not have withdrawn the implied right of access to my property. It is not unknown for warrants to be issued based upon evidence that includes such a withdrawal. I doubt, however, that a warrant would be issued solely on this basis.

Sorry to reply so late - too wet for gardening so catching up on YT. If you, your wife/partner or other occupant are over 75 and in receipt of Pension Credit, you can apply for a free TV licence. BBC don't mention it or promote it. Have a look into it. I did it for my neighbour as he was very worried about the door step visits. It does work.

PS. What you will discover is that they invented the costs in the first place, then have to justify it.

Norfolk and Good, huh?

The land of the High Six

Genius 👍🤣🤣

The organsation must advise you how to restructure the request to get the costs down. I take it that's a fail. The standard approach. If you asked for the last ten years, ask just for the last year. Then request the cost of that and start adding in other years one by one.

Almost 14 years here. Had about a dozen visits, four of which happened while I was in. I've developed a technique involving total silence, while filming them. 😊 Last one was "gone in 60 seconds". 😁 He said he was phoning the police. That was over 10 years ago, and I'm still waiting. 😁

Another option, report each letter to the police via their website as harrasment. Write the reference on the letter and file it. If they turn up, name and id, report them for harrasment, plus the Town Police Clauses Act 1847 Section 28 offence above. Then you have the evidence to stop them writing to you, visiting you, because its harrasment. ie. Would it be acceptable for an ex with a restraining order on them to write to you every 2 years asking if you still wanted to have sex with them? Same BBC thinking.

What? Only three? I've had 150 letters in three years (I have two homes), around 20 investigations have reached their final stages, due to my having failed to respond to their letters ( when they do come, I shall be asking them to go to the village post office and buy me a book of stamps), and they still don't know my name. Keep up the good work.

Do you ever watch any TV and if so what?

Should have just told them to b----r off. Why waste your time and breath talking to them?

👍

Closing the door would of been a better option. 🚪

You don't need to show them anything or prove anything

They're like vampires. Simply don't invite them in!

@@pigeonpoo1823 same beliefs, they can with court order but who knows what one of them look like wave shopping list or bus pass, and say is court order? and the possibly will?

Get a Door Security chain !

You would have been within your rights to 'help' him leave.

@@stevesmyth4982 A bit difficult if the plod are still watching as they'll happily charge you with a breach of the peace for ejecting an invited 'guest'!

@mikehipperson Was he invited to enter? I'd argue not because he was outside the property when the owner went to get his 'phone.

You mean 'uninvited'. Who in their right mind would invite them or anybody in?@@mikehipperson

As the BBC stands at the moment, it might well not exist in its present format after 2027, when its Charter comes up for renewal.

@@FuelPoverty - I'm sure it's readily available, it was on tv 'news' ffs, in Brit. Maybe not BBC... .

@@FuelPoverty - Prick. The BBC has ordered an investigation into how an outsourcing firm collects the TV licence amid claims that it runs an aggressive incentive scheme to maximise collection of fees from non-payers. Under a bonus scheme alleged by the Daily Mail, Capita’s enforcement officers are told to catch more than 28 licence fee evaders each week, as part of the company’s £58m contract to collect the charge. Staff targeted vulnerable people, including this month a war veteran with dementia and a young mother in a women’s refuge, the Mail reported. Capita was said to have told an undercover reporter, who posed as an applicant for an enforcement job, that the company was “greedy” for as much cash as possible. Area TV licensing manager Ian Doyle was filmed saying: “We are looking to get 28 licence sales per week from each officer. As soon as you hit that magic 28 there’s a bonus ... Basically you’ve got to get 28 conviction statements before you can start hitting extra money.” He joked that the job involved “attacking poor unsuspecting victims”. The BBC told Capita to investigate the claims and “ensure swift and appropriate action” was taken. It confirmed that Capita operated an incentive scheme for enforcement officers, but insisted that this should only apply to licence fee sales and not prosecution statements as the undercover footage suggested. A letter to Capita from the director general of the BBC, Tony Hall, demanded reassurances that the practices revealed by the investigation were not standard, and the collection teams were not targeting vulnerable people. In the letter, released by the BBC, he wrote: “Public trust is the cornerstone of the licence fee system. It is clear that, in this instance, Capita has fallen short of the standards the BBC has a right to expect on behalf of the British public.” A BBC spokesman said: “We are very disappointed by the conduct of Capita’s interviewing managers in this particular case, which is not in line with the high standards we expect and does not reflect the policies in place.” It added: “We have asked Capita to investigate urgently and ensure swift and appropriate action is taken. We expect inquiry officers to behave in a courteous, professional manner and abide by a published code of conduct.” A spokeswoman for Capita said: “Inquiry officers are expected to act in a professional manner, abide by strict rules of conduct and adhere to the Pace [Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984] code of practice and we strongly refute any allegation that inquiry officers are instructed to act outside of these requirements.”

if they have a warrant ask them "do you have the lawful power to enter this premises without my cooperation?" if the answer is no then bid them good day

If you don't let them in they can get a locksmith to gain entry and you will have to bear the cost. Not worth the effort IMHO

@@ticksize not saying to refuse entry, rather to only allow it under the duress of the threat of them forcing their way in

And if the answer is 'yes'?@@Shadow_Hawk_Streaming

So they gain entry. Then what? What are they going to find?@@ticksize

I’m physically and mentally disabled

they wont, dont worry. You played it right, Relax

The goons need two items of evidence to obtain a warrant before a magistrate will issue a warrant and only when the goon has a warrant will the police attend. There's nothing to be afraid of, don't be wound up about it.

You did great. Well done. They won't come back with the police and because you followed the correct steps, open door, identify goon, say no thanks, close the door, they are far less likely to come back because you will be noted as not worth bothering, as you are not easy money for them.

Not a police matter. Nothing will happen.

At that rate, it probably took them 40 hours just to write the letter saying it was going to take too long.

@@DaedalusYoungThey will have a standard template ready to fill in a few blanks for refusing FOIs. They then should make a record of the FOI on their system but if Norfolk's system is that poor, it's probably a box in a cupboard.

5 different people should request 5 different single years. That would cut the cost of each and see just how much lying and dodging they are really doing.

I bet they use the same systems as other police forces, if not the same system. As such it does show lazyness or incomptence.

I thought all force's databases were linked, thus the name for it being the PNC.

Thanks, noted

That does not cover these goons or other sales reps, that is for causing a nuisance such as kids knocking and running etc

​@@DosGamerMandont note it cos is nonsense

@@spm36 So what you do is video them. Ask them did they press the bell by accident and or was it wilfully done? Did they want to do it? Then you have them bang to rights. What every makes you think they won't confess to breaking the law? After all that is their modus operandi. :-)

"Our vans are in your area, do you have a TV licence" ?😂

Those vans, with swivelling loop aerials, were used to triangulate the position of transmitters. However much people blether on about local oscillators in heterodyne receivers and intermediate frequencies, a TV is not a transmitter. The local oscillator and IF of a receiver are not detectable over more than a few feet at best. The TV Detector Vans, where they existed, were a propaganda measure designed to frighten the public. There was no technology inside that could detect your TV.

So can you please confirm that you do not watch any programs on TV that would otherwise require a TV Licence?@@tillycat8690

I would say yes if the money went to where it's most needed. I dread to think about how much money is lost through fraud, inefficiency and paying an ever growing army of managers and secretaries.

Having the app(BBC Iplayer) on your TV set or mobile Phone or Tablet is NOT an offence! it only becomes an offence IF YOU WATCH IT. So stop worrying about it😁😁

@@iamrocketray am not worried about it, not used iplayer or similar app for probably at least five years. What i dont like is that tv set manufacturers should not by default install an app (even their own) and then make it impossible to remove. It would not surprise me if the BBC payed Samsung, Sony, etc to install them.

The TV manufacturers get a payment for adding them in, so that is costing the beeb. However there should alway be a means of deleting unwanted apps because they take up memory, you've paid for.

Set the region to Eire, France, Canada , etc. if possible. The shiteplayer will magically disappear.

It's for potential breach of the peace only no aiding...have you listened?

"only no aiding..." ? Is this English ? Me no understand@@spm36

Only US Americans spell it the other way.

And????????????

BBB, Black Belt Barrister has already done a video on court warrants and you are wrong. However, as the only way for TVL to get 'evidence' for a warrant is to speak to them. Not contact, no warrant.

@@Thurgosh_OG BBB has a first sworn duty to the court. He therefore has to say what he is told to. I have twice stopped police using such warrants by using the Criminal law Act 1977 section 6.This like the Bill of Rights Act 1688/9 repeats the common law and stated cases. Learn the real law. A court warrant is a legal warrant. We have a lawful right to defend our property from all comers. So I believe that I am right because I have put the real law into practice. Dan Smith will not respond to me because he also knows the law. The real law. It's people like you who allow our freedoms to be taken away because you believe what such as Dan tells you without learning the real law. Wake up.

That would work of the Police used common sense but, well, the police today and common sense don't mix very well.

@@Thurgosh_OG Good point.

You log in to a different email not using your own name. In theory they could track your i.p address but that would only be traced to the modem not the computer itself. If you have your WiFi on with no password anybody in the neighbourhood could be using it. But fear not they are not allowed to do this, so as always, answer the door, when identified as a TV goon shut the door immediately, NEVER COMMUNICATE 😊

Make sure you do your no firearm licence needed too

You'd think police had better things to do such as solve the murder of Jill Dando...
