Police & 2 TV Licence Goons With A Warrant. Watch This Bloke Handle It

[@ChilliJonCarne]

If you want a legal view of this, @blackbeltbarrister has a good look at it here... kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJvUi3eOidCAd6s

[@petervandervliet640]

As I wrote in the response to blackbeltbarrister is that this law forcing you to comply with the TV licensing officer to aid them in finding out if he was watching television. I have seen videos before where someone was forced to show the license officers potential evidence of him violating that law. But IMO this level of forced complication ought to be seen as a violation of the human rights any person ought to have. If one of these capita goons arrives with the police you have to let them in, fine, but then you have to comply with the capita employees to prove you do not watch TV. Well Fudge that, letting them in, fine, a judge signed off on it but after that it is down to Capita and the police to prove you are able to watch live TV. As a suspect of violating the law, the European human rights state that any suspect has the right to remain silent and does not have to aid in the investigation of the crime he is accused of. So no person who is confronted by these goonish figures should be forced to help them in their investigation but that is approximately what blackbelt barrister stated because of you refuse to comply with the capita goons your penalties go up.

@@user-bo3mp8un6c well considering the officer there, isn't a special crimes officer clearly by uniform, as most burglary investigation teams operate plain clothes or smart attire, so he's a regular patrol officer or probably a neighbour hood officer, so he gets assigned this. All the investigation a regular officer does for a burglary is take a statement and arrange forensics and then write up a report and then pass it onto the other team not much investigation to be done. Only really matters when you know who committed the burglary. Most Police are required (if asked) to attend a call from bailiffs and or TV enforcement agents if they are executing a warrant on behalf of the courts. All I see in this video is a TV enforcement agent, who probably always asks for police to come as he's had a lot of problems (wonder why) a random bloke can't remember why he's actually there and an officer that's literally just standing there. So much force 🤯.

They've continued to harass me by text and email which is a criminal offence of actual psychological and physical harassment. If they end up loading their claim against me with costs I will tell them to take me to court where I can produce my evidence of their physical and psychological harassment after providing no evidence and I can also produce their made up energy bill invoice which is in dispute which clearly states readings are only an estimate.

True, but if a TV is visible from the public street or on a direct route to the front door while using the implied right of access it's unfortunately fair game. A goon isn't allowed to divert and peer through the window however. A defence that it wasn't live TV on KZbin is a good one, they'd have to prove it wasn't. This person helped them obtain a warrant in the 1st place however by breaking the golden rule, he not only engaged with a goon, but he caused further suspicion by using the invalid defence that an Act isn't a law. I know all about the common law and statutes argument, but whether we like it or not, it simply doesn't stand up in court and trying to use it often works against you.

[@lambornewagner6600]

Several years ago (late 1980's)I lived on a council estate that suffered a "purge" by these TV licence goons.. It started with letters being sent out on a very regular (weekly) basis to all the houses on this estate that did not have a tv licence. I was one of them, but as a single man at the time who spent most of his time either at work or in the pub, I actually did not have a tv set in my house. I usually dealt with the TV licence letters addressed to "the occupier" by writing "not at this address" on the envelope and putting them back in the post box. Sadly I was not at home when the goons called en masse one evening, had I been there I think I could have had a lot of fun. One of the things that struck me was that in this video the goons were adamant that one of them had seen a tv in use through the window. Is not that kind of behaviour illegal in some way? But returning to what I was saying, one of my neighbours was a young mother who struggled to make ends meet and she was targeted. She showed me the statement that the goons had given her and I was astonished... This was in the days when you could buy a black and white tv licence, but on the statement it said that she opened the door and the "officer" heard a colour television.... So the sound is also in colour? But I also gave kudos to friend of mine who was one of the few who did not incur what was a £75 fine at the time when then goon who knocked on his door on his first floor flat, after being refused entry said " I have a right to enter this property" received the reply "and I have the right to throw you off this balcony if you try"

I declined, whereupon the two coppers told me that they could arrest me and take me into custody and, as it was a Friday afternoon, I would find it very difficult to get a solicitor to represent me before about Sunday. My reply was, "Well you'd better arrest me then." At that they left. I complained to the IOPC and the next thing I know some Inspector or Superintendent or somebody or other paid me a visit. He said they'd investigated the matter and they felt sure that I WAS OVERREACTING somewhat. He said the police don't behave in that threatening manner anymore. He said that was a tactic from the 1970's that was unacceptable nowadays. When I'd stopped laughing hysterically in his face I showed him the door with some less than reassuring words on his and his police force's credibility.
