Tv Licensing
17 Answers
I have received yet another letter from the TV licensing people advising that I will be visited by ' an officer '.
The letter states that they can apply to a court for a search warrant, it also states the ' an Officer may interview me under caution, in accordance with National criminal Law'.
I assume this refers to having a search warrant, and not just some random officer knocking on my door. ?
I do not have a TV, and irrespective of advising the TV licensing authority on many occasions since 2004, keep badgering.
If ' an officer' does indeed call, I will refuse to speak, but just wanted an opinion on this interview under caution aspect

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.If you have a television aerial, it would be a good idea to have it taken down. If the bureaukrauts see an aerial, they might decide they have cause to demand entry. It also helps if you live in an expensive house, not a council house. (This information comes from bitter experience from my own history ! Actually, we got the better of them in the end.)

they can get their warrant by swearing that they visited and saw flickering ( =a tv) thro a window
it is just a question of when they get the warrant
if it is a question of just showing them you dont have a tv I would invite them in - but that wasnt your question
yes you dont have to let them in if they dont have a warrant

Have you changed your plan to watch tv via iplayer?
If so you DO need a TV license .
If you really do not have a method of recieving live TV ( NOT just on a TV set) then just let them in to check. They are not going to take your word for it, the letter proves that! If you refuse to speak to the visiting officer they will apply for and almost certainly be granted a search warrent!

Search warrants are marginally less rare than hens' teeth.
