Tv License Visit

[matt v atos]

Because everyone will simply say it because there would be no comeback or investigation.

.

people could say that about a lot of things

[Bedsit Bob]

why don't they believe this

 

Because it's their policy, to assume all properties require a TV Licence.

Then the policy is wrong

[porkyp1g]

There is no need to go back to basics. There is no need for a tv licence. It is an outdated relic and needs to be scrapped. It was introduced when there was only the BBC around and it was the only way to maintain it. As was previously said, the keyword is in the name British Broadcasting CORPORATION. They are there to make a profit, and they dont have to put any effort into it due to the tv licence TAX.

 

You might be ok with it, but i and many tens of thousands of others are DEFINITELY not.

 

It doesn't matter if you are okay with it or not, it is still a law that you a breaking. Morally, you are in the wrong.

 

When it all gets reviewed in 2016, maybe they will see that there are more alternatives for people on a subscription basis, like Netflix, so might actually change the law or even make freeview a subscription too. I agree it needs brining up to date, with modern times. if you pay your license fee, you get the programmes beamed live and decrypted. Then there would be no need for capita and all these targets and commissions.

 

But until such time, you are still flouting the law and you don't seem to have any moral issues with that. Astonishing.

Then law is wrong !

Again you seem to have skipped the ENTIRE reasonings in this thread along witht the legal reasonings why you should not pay nor can you be forced to.

You seem to be hung up on the simple fact that because others pay it and some no name idiot tells you to pay it, that you have no alternative but to comply.

Ive spoken to around 8 "inspectors" in the last 10 years and NOTHING has happened. That says it all.

I would skip what this poster is doing just forget it

[renegadeimp]

Ill agree with you there matt. Not worth the effort anymore.

It's not like somebody has just made up this rule and applied it and tried telling everyone it is right. If you are proved to be in breach of the law on this matter, do you not end up in court and get fined or imprisoned if you are found to be guilty? If you are comfortable risking this punishment, go ahead. You face the consequences if you do get caught and if you believe in karma I'm sure it will be applied. You will have no one to blame but yourself.

 

I thought I was dealing with people who don't need a license and were arguing against being assumed guilty, but its clear from some of these postings that there are examples of persons that should be paying for license, but don't. I'm not going to argue that anymore as this is a totally different situation and not one that is defensible.

 

Some people on here have said no one is justifying tv licence evasion, well it seems some are. I'm outta here now guys, it's been emotional.

What am I doing?

[matt v atos]

What am I doing?

 

You are very annoying

[matt v atos]

And posters have made this clear

[matt v atos]

And you keep repeating your self

[porkyp1g]

And you keep repeating your self

 

Lol, the irony....

[Bedsit Bob]

do you not end up in court and get fined or imprisoned if you are found to be guilty?

 

You don't get imprisoned.

[Bedsit Bob]

Then the policy is wrong

 

I agree, but that is their policy, which they are quite happy to state publicly.

[Mark my words]

It's not like somebody has just made up this rule and applied it and tried telling everyone it is right.

The BBC has done exactly that - the legislation makes no mention of inspectors or letters or any of the main process of TV Licence enforcement. That's all been created by someone (probably the GPO as was) and is now the property of the BBC.

 

If you are proved to be in breach of the law on this matter, do you not end up in court and get fined or imprisoned if you are found to be guilty?

Law enforcement does not give the Law enforcer complete freedom to do whatever they want. We have laws that apply to them, too.

[Bedsit Bob]

he might even know the fella:lol:

 

He might even be the fella.

[postggj]

You don't get imprisoned.

 

 

HE BBC and Home Office faced sustained criticism after the Prison Service revealed yesterday that 845 people were jailed last year for not having a television licence and paying the fine imposed by the courts.

And I thought he was meant to be an expert on this topic?

 

I'm still waiting to see this video for ****s and giggles. We've already had one admit he watches tv but doesn't pay for a license, your guys refusal to answer the question makes me think your in e same boat (but too ashamed to say) and are hiding behind your rights. None of you have my sympathy if the day comes and your found out to be a tv license evader.

[postggj]

please list your questions PORKYP1G

 

for my education of course

He is, certainly one of them.

Nah I just asked these guys if any of them actually watch live tv (or record it) regardless of any channel despite not paying for a tv license. Renegade has already admitted he does, but these are choosing their right to remain silent. Says it all to me really.

[postggj]

People are of the opinion that the TV licence is their to fund the BBC. The BBC receives a budget each year as to its charter from the government, irrespective on how much has been collected from subscribers.

 

The TV licence fee is nothing more than a licence to receive live TV broadcasts
