herbalharry   10 #89 Posted January 25, 2016 If they have a warrant, then its not uncommon for them to have a policeman accompany them to make sure its enforced. How did you not know this?  No...how do they get evidence? Because to get a warrant you've got to got to go through courts....They don't just hand warrants out to anybody.  ---------- Post added 25-01-2016 at 21:15 ----------  Care to explain?

truman   10 #90 Posted January 25, 2016 only with co-operation, tell them nothing until a warrant appears:roll: doesnt happen often  Doesn't alter the fact that there are 3000 prosecutions/week ...

herbalharry   10 #91 Posted January 25, 2016 .... Decide for yourself... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TV_detector_van  it's all very mysterious, and unless you are involved in enforcing the license, no one will ever know....  I have seen a van before that had a weird array on the top, and had TV Licensing on the side... wasn't either of the ones in that article though, and was about 20 years ago :S  EDIT:  It was SIMILAR to this one.... http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/10/05/article-0-188768C900000578-988_634x377.jpg  I know for a fact no vans with the right technology exist.., the only way a capita goon can gather evidence is to be let into your house.

Some aspects of the equipment have been developed in such secrecy that engineers working on specific detection methods work in isolation - so not even they know how the other detection methods work. This gives us the best chance of catching licence evaders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

They need to show a reasonable suspicion that an offence under s363 is being committed or that they are likely to find such evidence on the premises.
