TV licensing (Capita) impersonating police officers?
Discussion
Yep and I have 5 unicorns in the garden!The key word in all this stuff is IF, if you possess, if you watch.
I watched a thing on youtube form a guy who is prominent on this, and who has been asked by the Beeb numerous times to drop his page.
Something to do with a by law, and that is if anyone presumes you have broken the law with no proof that you HAVE, no sort of judgement can be made.
That is conveniently forgotten about.
All they need is your name if they visit, that is ALL, They know your address. but simply say, "i do not wish to speak to you" They know the drill and will usually just walk away, seen scores of videos of the this.
If you engage them, they will use that against you with this stupid warrant stuff.
Watch the Daily Mail video about the boss form Capita telling the undercover guy how it works, 28 convictions (he even uses that sort of pathetic wording) a week, then you start getting bonuses.
it is a total lie as are detector vans (no conviction has ever been made using van data).
Anyone who can do this, you know is not worth paying, it is the wool that has been pulled over the countries eyes for decades. And it is based on fake and unproveable law.

I have only ever seen one 'detector van' It had a big sticker on it saying what it was but it was just a mini bus to carry staff around!It was surprisingly easy to detect and didn't need a van full of gear.
I don't know if the BBC ever had detector vans, but it's certainly possible to detect what channel someone was watching in a particular house.
This was old CRT TV's. The same method would not be possible on a modern TV.

A whole year’s access to the widest range of multi-channel programming for the price of a nice meal out.
It’s the best bargain in most peoples’ lives.
I've just received an invoice from a restaurant down the road, for a meal I didn't eat. When I questioned them, they said that it was there if I wanted it.It’s the best bargain in most peoples’ lives.
Should I pay?

I have never used a national health hospital. state funded education nor received any benefits. Yet my taxes and NI contributions have nothing to do with that, nor should they. Should I pay?

While not as blatant as some broadcasters there can't be anyone left who truly believes the BBC is impartial.
Atleast the others don't try and pretend they're not politically biased.
Most of the very left wing friends I have absolutely hate the BBC as they all say it is just a right wing mouthpiece, the voice of the Tories, all that kind of thing.Atleast the others don't try and pretend they're not politically biased.
They aren’t alone either. There are numerous left wing commentators and journalists that are furious over the right-wing bias show by the BBC.
On the other hand, many people are annoyed by the apparent left-wing bias of the BBC.
If you have both the left and the right accusing the BBC of bias, then they probably aren’t too far from being impartial.

Yeah i do find that weird. I only seem to hear the left wing bias. In my mind, they accuse everyone who expresses an opinion they don't like as being far, or extreme right. I have not noticed them labeling any groups as far, or extreme left. Maybe they do though and i just don't hear it.BertBert said:

Again, not a very good analogy. If you ate it then yes, if not, then no.Should I pay?

The problem is that it's open to huge fraud. If all the people who watched it paid for it, it would be fine. But they won't which is why there is legislation. Now I don't agree with the way the bbc is funded, nor the antics of Capita. But it's really straightforward. Don't get the benefit, don't pay. Very simple indeed!

Although you listen to the BBC radio service funded by the licence - https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...
Crack on with just a radio licence then, I'll stick to commercial and Spotify etc. And yup I binned my licence and got a refund last year as well as writing to my MP over how shoddily and dishonestly someone who I knew with MH issues was treated by Crapita and dragged thru court.
You can shove the licence fee where the sun doesn't shine.
I watched little tv before, now I watch even less and none of it live or iPlayer, if I want to watch planet earth etc it's on Prime.
