The real problem is that the BBC got away with persuading the government in 1946 that the fee for listening to the radio - later watching TV - should be classified as a “licence”. That makes it much easier to criminalise eg driving or possessing a shotgun “without a licence”. Had it been properly categorised as a contractual fee (such as renting a radio or TV as so many people did in the 1940s 50s and 60s) this would rightly have been an entirely civil matter. But because the signals were freely available on air a more sinister enforcement method was necessary: the criminal sanction and the greatest hoax on the public at the time - detector vans.

[@timg1246]

In theory, they can defend themselves. They can plead not guilty or enter some kind of mitigation. Then their individual case may be withdrawn from the SJP and sent to a full magistrate's trial. In theory, the SJP system only takes cases where a guilty plea has been received or no plea at all. That appears to be a deeply flawed system. Unfortunately, many people do not know their rights. Almost no TV licence prosecutions would occur if people knew their rights. The system requires the ignorance of the population. The system as it stands is wide open to abuse. And, where Capita is concerned, abuse is bound to follow.

👍 this country's a ghastly mess, as for the ridiculous BBC !

[@Taz-yt4tj]

Taking any tax is illegal was never ratified in parliament 🤮💩💩love your work 🤩🇬🇧👍

[@NineLivesburra]

Unfortunately, this is actually untrue

[@nickgreen5213]

How can anyone be convicted of anything without a fair hearing. Behind closed doors, that sounds illegal.

[@glencannon2821]

Disgusting full stop ✋

[@fatbelly27]

Actually the courts don't want or like this behaviour. We need them to push for decriminalisation.

[@chimneydriptray2439]

I have bags of sympathy for the BBC.." ……. But no money 😂 .

[@mikythesaint6507]

They could easily decriminalised the Tv licence fee. No one should get a criminal record for not having a licence to watch TV. you have to ask yourself why wont they?

[@londonguyuk83]

I would take this to court and get that criminal conviction overturned and also sue for damages. Those magistrates should be ashamed

[@keithpheasentplucker6379]

Politicians are all tarred with the same brush. Promise everything, Deliver Nothing !!!

[@stewartmckay9830]

It is just a case of getting every last penny out of the game And then they're going to ask to get the taxpayers money. The only thing people can do that have been victimised is to join together and take legal action.

[@stevenhorn5106]

Yet another case of us v them. Until the Beeb decriminalised the TV tax or better still becomes a subscription service it's only going to get worse. It seems nobody is on the side of common sense until everyone stops paying for this unfair tax. I haven't watched live TV for more than 5 years now and I haven't looked back.

[@colinmartin2921]

When will someone rid me of this troublesome tv tax?

[@garrybowers414]

Got a threatening letter this morning 😅

No business should have any power to enforce a subscription service on anybody. 🇬🇧

[@tedthesailor172]

It was within the latitude of the magistrate to offer an absolute discharge or even a conditional discharge instead of a fine and a criminal record. As long as benches up and down the country regard the BBC and its gestapo as instruments of the establishment, this will go on. I do not believe for one second that things will change when the charter comes up for renewal. Governments simply have not got the testicular prowess to bring in the changes that are needed...

[@Callum440]

Glad to be a number not paying the stupid license fee. Ive sacrificed other live services but better that than support this riddiculuos show. They took me to court once and lost I will fight again if they try it.

[@Dav2012able]

End your Sky subscription... Result: No more access to Sky content. End your Netflix subscription.... Result: No more streaming Netflix content. End your BBC subscription (another channel), Result: Criminal conviction.

What are social services and advocates doing to help the vulnerable people they should be helping? They should be assisting disabled people rather than leaving them at the mercy of the greedy BBC, Capita vultures and our dysfunctional legal system.

[@alanbest5879]

I suspect there are a lot of vulnerable people who do not get any of this support; part of this could be due to them being unable to get seen by a GP, not getting correct referrals, being on a referral waiting list or simply not getting any substantive amount of care even when they are under care of the system.

[@rubilister9780]

From my own experiences social services are not any help. Infact they too are just as guilty of bullying tactics, gaslighting and disrespect. My own experiences stem from disability care costs and the in being the recipient of personal care services. They claim payments are missed/unpaid when it is not and you have no one to turn to, no one that helps. My care was paid direct monthly by direct debit but they constantly claimed they hadn’t received it and would simply take out what ever they wanted, when they wanted resulting me having nothing left. They disregarded the disability act by refusing to communicate to me in my chosen form and ignore everything I was going through with the care agencies (carers not turning up or following the care plan for example). I had alot of other issues to, all from social services not caring at all.

[@waynesmith4612]

You forget, these are the same people who brought you the Jimmy Savile horrors, You have to remember no low is to low for the BBC!

[@helenroberts1107]

It’s like the post office all over again 😡

[@BarrieWilson-s2r]

People need too take against this sort of outrage! They wouldn't do this against someone who was wealthy and was paying it. They would be too scared too because wealthy people would be able too defend themselves legally. It's doing over poorer people as usual. Makes me sick

[@jameznash]

it was only a few weeks ago i read an article about a guy who had been caught and arrested for stealing cars on more than 15 different occasions. He had never once been to jail and had never had to even pay a single fine due to his circumstances. How are any of these cases for TV licence in the public interest in anyway

[@thesheperd7567]

In the late 90's at Victoria Barracks Windsor every single TV on camp required a licence on top of it for routine checks. We could be out on 3 week excercises or deployed to NI for 6 months and no refund. If we went on a long term course the licence could not go with your TV as it was the wrong address and not worth the hassle as we were always on the move. Shared rooms could share the cost but again individuals could be posted out and lose out. Most of us bought a license then never renewed. Seniors were not interested in checking and there was no way they would escort some toe rag around soldiers accommodation to have their men fined. A complete disgrace to the armed forces ontop of volnerable and OAPs.

[@robertcooper411]

Just think of the money that could be deducted from the licence fee if the Beeb abolished their "specific training" . Am assuming the goons attend courses which cost money.
