Saying they saw a phone is not evidence it's hearsay, also they are a private company for them to be able to get a search warrant is like me getting a search warrant to search my next door neighbors house because I said they stole my hedge trimmer.

@@bjrnolavlangvad3061 no but it might be prima facie evidence that you are using the car without a Road Fund Licence and you now have to register the fact that the car is kept off road. The simple answer is not to engage with them in any way -as soon as they say they say they are tv close the door .Anything you say WILL be used to your disadvantage -keeping you mouth firmly shut is entirely to your benefit .

Warrants are not issued anywhere near as often in Scotland because there, you actually need to convince a court official (Sheriff's Clerk or Procurator Fiscal) of the offence. In England and Wales, TVL merely send a electronic form into a centralised authority, stating they were told something, at such and such time and date. Whether the person 'spoken to' did say something or even someone else in the street has said something that might be vaguely construed as watching live TV then the form goes in and the majority get a warrant, via email.

Also, VPN gives me so much content. America and the uk are decades behind the quality of acting in most Asian countries, acting quality of videography, all is so fake on western shows now and netflix has enabled us to see how poorly we have been served up the crap we thought was so good at one point.

maybe the police should use this tactic might arrest more crimanals

They rarely actually get a warrant and if they did it was almost certainly issued on false information i.e. lies. The goons depend far more on people self incrimination.

Thee can't get a warrant if they have no name

They can't.

NO NO, not "possible" evidence, it must be clear evidence..i.e you told them or you let them in. They are not allowed to look through windows so even if they see your tv on, its not admissible evidence. They will not get a LEGAL warrant without clear evidence so don't be fooled by their fake ipad "warrants" they aint legal no matter what the no nothing police say as they have no clue on even basic laws.

It’s very unlikely they will get a search warrant. Just say ‘no thanks’ and shut the door.

⁠Good suggestion Andrew. With a ring doorbell there’s no need to open the door to anyone who you don’t know.

100%, it boils my blood that these practices, which are reported to target the elderly and vulnerable just trying to go about their lives in peace, are given the time of day by law enforcement, yet so much worse gets ushered under the rug

They are only employed by the BBC to investigate if you are watching TV without a licence - Observe and report - they have no other lawful powers

I am amazed the BBC still exists because they are archaic, out of touch and irrelevant and very biased. I don't know anyone who likes them. All they need to do is put TV advertisements in between programmes and that would end this nonsense!

​@@specialresident22I've managed to evade the licence despite subscribing to Sky for years. They need to prove it all, If Sky or Virgin handover information to them, I would have been caught years ago.

@@lesallison9047 same here. Not quite as long, but long enough to see the scam, corruption and brainwashing that has been inflicted on the people.

It doesn't just apply to BBC broadcasts, it's any live broadcast. So if you only ever watched shopping channels, you'd still need one.

@@davidspear9790 that maybe your truth, but realistically the BBC gets their funding from TV licensing. The others are funded by advertising and sponsorship. TV license is only for BBC radio, TV and iPlayer streaming. We are programmed to believe it's all terrestrial channels.

The revenue from TV Licensing funds only the BBC, yes, but you are required a licence to watch *any* channel if it’s broadcast live. Unfair, but worth knowing.

@@ClaireWill71uk _Hardly surprising!_

Isn't it funny how buying a TVL will make everything alright, where as up to that point you have been suspected of breaking the law?

Here's a thing, even if you watched live TV on SKY etc remember, the BBC DOES NOT OWN THE AIR WAVES transmitted by those companies otherwise they would be legally obliged to inform you of the requirement to be licensed in order to watch them! Clearly that's not the case, nor has it ever been as far as I know! imagine the lawsuit/Court Case if the BBC tried prosecuting those SUPER LARGE corporations, I don't think so, anymore than trying to prove you are, or have been 🤔🤨😏☺️😉

I agree. Also the 'live TV channels' that the BBC licence demand, you the publc pay for,...ITV..live KZfaq..ect.. should demmand a cut of the license payment.

When visiting my moms the other day and look for something to watch, i could not get over how much advertising there is. We should not be paying a tv licence they should be paying us to watch the crap they put on. Also, the pushing of minority groups, from races to disabled to alternative sexual preferences, or just people who enjoy dressing up as the opposite sex. Then the worst was before the rugby, 5 damn adverts for a boy that has one arm and plays rugby. i mean come on that was a mockery of the disabled. I prefer watching what i want without the disturbing forcing of ideas on me and the adverts that are so damn crappy. But the fun is coming, now so many have put a value of around 15 for advertising, that means in a court i can now show what value they put on my eyeballs watching their advertising. I am sure very soon, as advertising becomes more and more invasive, some big organisation is going to argue this with top lawyers and force them to pay us that £15 to watch their advertising. Google with their greed has ensured this has become a very hot topic and human rights groups will jump at the chance to hurt google for their abusive behaviour.

I also refused to trick the “ I understand “ box. They are so slippery

When I 1st got my own property in the 1980’s I couldn’t afford to buy a TV and got bombarded by the threatening letters, I eventually sent one of their letters back [without a stamp so that they would have to pay] saying I don’t understand why you are complaining that I haven’t responded to your letters when I have no legal requirement so to do, and signed it ‘the legal occupier’ Over 35years on and I have never corresponded with them since, I have never had a TV licence, all of their letters go in the shredder, if they knock on the doors I don’t talk just close the door. I have never had a problem because I don’t give then any legal purchase what so ever.

Yup. I really enjoy watching Le Mans 24 hour, but I always wait for the youtube video release several dayss later instead of live watching it. It's annoying but at least I won't get done by the butt munchers at Crapita/BBC.

@@RogueWraith909 if they don’t have a warrant to search your house there’s no way for them to know…

You can watch live streams on KZfaq, Twitch etc, as long as they do not also stream via conventional means that require the maintenance of aerial or radio networks. Your Internet connection is provided to you via a private company that has to maintain these networks. The whole point of this tax is to provide BBC with funds outside of adverts etc, to enable the production of original content and have one source of news that won't hide behind a paywall and should technically be impartial (which they failed completely and could be the basis of a massive lawsuit if people agree to do so), but most importantly maintain the network, be it cable, radio or now digital, to stream said content, regardless of who provides it and if they gain any additional funds from this tax (see other TV Stations). That is the spirit of this tax and it's a noble one (if the internet goes offline for example and you need access to information). However, since BBC is politically too far to the left, invests the money into productions some of us at least don't care about, over pays for some of their employes and spends a ton on fancy studio equipment, and went as far as to hire a private company that pays their agents per customer "persuaded" this tax needs to be eliminate. And by the looks of it, it will in 2025.

We don't know what crap is on BBC because we don't watch any.

You say in your message ACT,it is not lawfull untill you make it so, we live under COMMON LAW not ACTS

Agreed

aye he is good info

@Trixie K if you have seen his latest videos, he actually mentions you don’t have to tell them

@Trixie K I prefer to ring the TV licence agent's personally, I don't get any letter's apart from the 2 yearly letter to see if I'm still happy having no licence.. I've never had a knock at the door, obviously that doesn't mean I won't at some point in the next few years.. If you decide to go down the route of ignoring them, that may cause more hassle, more letters & more chance of a visit.. But do whatever you find best 😊

@Trixie K I do agree that a person shouldn't have to declare, but it is just an automated call which takes about 5mins, don't speak to anyone.. I guess I can't be doing with all the threatening letter's lol... I'm looking forward to my 1st house visit though if that ever may arise? 🤣 Thanks for the reply, all the best being licence free 🙂🙂

Canada is the same

In Australia, you do pay. The ABC is funded by taxation (i.e. money that's taken from you). It's just that it's not a separate itemised charge.

do not even confirm your name, without a warrant they have exactly the same legal power as any other door to door salesman - you can also ask them to leave your property, easier to ignore them, if they persist you can right and withdraw the implied right of access they claim, and you don't even have to give your name - they are then technically trespassing if they come back good luck getting anywhere with a prosecution for it though

@@aleopardstail Don't revoke their implied right of access, it just gives them something to use against you to gain a warrant. I agree with you that you shouldn't even give them your name though, after all, what do they need a name for? It's the property that's covered by a licence, not the person living there.

Against your human rights to expect you to help in your own prosecution.

They would need legal agreement from the phone manufacturer as they hold the legal right to any original software installed on the phone, as to any you install they would still need permission from the app creator to, and let's be clear, access their software data!

Bingo. A warrant for entry into a property does not give them a right to access private devices. Not even the police can force you to open it up, even if they threaten to take it as evidence, refuse, get a lawyer to write up a nice right to claim letter and take Capita and the police to the cleaners. BBB talks a load of shit at times and sometimes seems to advise his audience in a non-argumentitive way. When in fact being stubborn and standing your ground is the BEST way.

A warrant doesn't mean they can enter your home. The warrant requires consent.

This is all referencing to [ Live ] transmissions, not pre recorded, so your good, 😃👍

The law was changed in the mid 90's I believe, at that time if you had a TV you had to have a license. It was changed because of TV's going Digital. BUT the GOON lied to you, even then they couldn't enter your property without your permission, He conned you M8.

Capital tells its goons to tell people they need a licence for a radio or music centre.

​​@@trevormillar1576 my answer to that would be, it's just tv license not a radio license and the clue is in the title, therefore listening to radio is free, which it is! These goons are delusional 😂

Its a business

money , money , money .

Surely it would be cheaper to fire all the inspectors and just take the hit on those that watch without paying ? They let shoplifters just get on with it these days.

i think they will go the tax every one like with germany win win for bbc and swamp rats in Parliament

I agree. Trouble is they would finally see people are not willing to pay and the subscriptions they do get wouldn't cover their costs. Therefore I believe they would look at other funding models such as putting it on everyone's phone or broadband bill so everyone will end up paying!

Yep. They know that people won’t want to pay for it so they won’t. They will then have a funding shortfall and they will then lose such talent as Gary Lineker and Zoe Ball. Shame. Best bet is to make add free subscription and total free but with ads. Pays you money and take your choice, but then they’d have to run it like a business earth than a jolly.

You legend, Samsung TVs are a nightmare for pre installed apps that can’t be deleted, I’ve had to left mine none set up to avoid it for now and just do everything off a fire stick.

I'm quite curious as to how they will enforce this. I read that the smoke level must be below 3% compared to 5% previously. How could they even measure a 2% difference in smoke output.
