      But the warrant was signed by a justice of the peace and they did not get access.
      To get an actual court issued warrant signed by a judge and that grants them access they need to present enough to convince the judge that criminal activity is taking place. Since their "investigations" usually can't even identify who the occupants of the residence are, those warrants are extremely rare.

Funny thing was the second time i replied with "who are you?" he paused, smirked and i got a strange look from him, it felt like he knew that i knew exactly what i was saying and he knew i was clued up on this shit, he walked off with his tail between his legs, It was a great feeling.

    Hi Chillijon i wonder if this might stop goons (TV licence salesmen) from cold calling.
    Cold calling is the act of making uninvited visits to your home with the intention of selling goods or services. It is not illegal and does not require a licence.
    However, the law states that a trader who ignores a resident's request to leave and not return commits a criminal offence under the provisions of The Consumer Protection From Unfair Trading Regulations 2008.

    There's something to be said for keeping the goon at your doorstep for as long as possible, surely? The longer they are at the door of someone who ISN'T going to be intimated, the less time they spend at some other poor punter's door? Just a thought.

    I think the biggest issue is that, them coming in to "check" dosent prove you watch it. Most tvs, firesticks etc are pre loaded with apps that have the ability to watch live TV. ITVX for example, is legal to watch catch up, but it also has a live section. They would simply see that and say you watch live TV. Even if you never click on the live section. Same with Samsung tvs. They have live TV if its connected to the Internet. You can't stop it. But if you're never on that input, you're not breaking any laws. So it's pointless letting them in, because they will just have ammo to try and prosecute you.

      @Les Black they word it very sneakily. Because it says watch TV on any of the following and then list the catch up apps. However they only mean the live sections. If it's not live its fine. So for example. When corrie ends and enters the catchup section on itvx, then you can watch it and not need a licence. This has been the case forever. They only changed it to exclude iplayer a few years ago. Up until then a loophole meant you could watch iplayer too.

    Eventually with the huge waste of emergency responders resources and the financial burden, maybe government will put a stop to it.

I got a letter 2 days later stating that I have cancelled and wont be "visited" or "contacted" for 2 years. Job done, never watch any of the propogandist garbage pumped out by any of them, but especially the "news". If I did, I would have put my boot through the TV by now. Instead, I have a pc plugged into my HDMI port, and a wireless keyboard and mouse, to control it from my coffee table. I watch a wealth of decent content, on YT, Rumble, Bitchute, Odysee. Mark Steyn show from his webisite, which I regularly watch, plus a plethora of independent journalists who deliver the real news. I can watch what I want, when I want. Old documentaries, new documentaries, daily updates, movies, music of my choice. Its been a revelation, and I would recommend it to everyone.
