How can I legally get out of paying UK TV licence

what a fucking shithole of a country, leave my board now.

My CS professor was from the UK and she went on a rant about this shit.

Apparently the only way to find out that you even have a TV is if they send auditors to look through your window.

Just keep your television hidden I guess?

You can't. It is your duty as a citizen to pay for the BBC's multiculturalism

>smart americans start these threads
>dumb americans read them
>dumb americans go to their local 7/11 and discuss with jamal that brits need to pay a license for their tv lest they be arrested
>jamal rapes and kills their wife

makes you think

>>82497110
THEY have to prove that you watch TV. If you don't let them in your house, they can't prove it. The people who get fined are the ones who admit to watching TV then refuse to pay.

Don't let them in your house. They'll say things like "We need to come in" but it's bullshit, they have NO right to enter your property.

If they knock at your door say "I Don't watch TV" and close the door. Simple.

>>82497110
No its changed now, if you have the internet and any device that can access iplayer you have to pay the licence fee

if you can only get caught by watching "live tv" just buy a used Tivo or something and DVR everything.

since you're not watching anything as it airs live they can''t fine you 1000 pounds.

imagine having a job as a "tv licensing enforcement officer." that's even lower than a meter maid.

actualy i am a uk citizen, im moving where i will be sole resident and i dont want to pay the paedos at bbc to make their shitty programmes.

I sent them an email along those lines and got one final letter saying they wouldn't contact me again. It's not hard OP

no its true for bbciplayer-more reason to not watch the fucking bbc

>white people talking to niggers in america

Do you know how I know that you really are not amercian?

>>82497164
the way it works is that they ask if they can come in (you don't legally have to let them in under any circumstance) and they have to verify that any tv in your house is actually being used to watch the bbc live

Why don't you just pirate your shit and not pay tv license?

>>82498004
how tf would they do that? its a shame you cannot block live tv on the tv.

Hang on. So they can't legally make you pay the bill? As long as you don't get caught watching tv?

they also just made it so that streaming pirated streams on kodi carries a maximum 10-year prison sentence.

What an absolute shithole.

>>82498146
Is it only the boxes? What about if you have the add on off the internet? And how do they prove if someone has them? Can they track you with your internet history as it uses links?

>>82498146
Don't forget about the law passed last year that allows almost any government department access to your internet history anytime they want, it literally just requires a manager to sign off

>>82498193
think it applies on pretty much any device, and most likely goes beyond kodi.

Why don't they make it impossible to watch without a license then? This retarded logic is used all over Europe. In Portugal for example, you have to pay for a subway ticket but there are no turnstiles, so everyone walks on without paying.

I can't believe you can get 10 years in prison for pirating a fucking tv show.

>>82498058
the whole point is i dont watch live tv anyway

>>82498326
Blame all the normies who caught on to kodi and started selling boxes with it pre-installed, they are everywhere now

How good are these free vpns on Google chrome?

>>82498144
apart from london the police don't really do anything in britain

crime is low in most places and the peelian principles of police officers means you don't see any active enforcement

>>82498144
Correct.

>>82498146
That's bullshit, nice bait though.

Read the article. If you are "making a business" from selling illegally loaded kodi boxes then you can be prosecuted.

"Making a Business"

>>82498279
that would entail remotely disabling television and monitor functionality across the country, wouldn't it? people can still get pirated satellite programming with the right tuner, and also the whole IPTV trend going on right now.

>>82498414
The US does it with cable boxes you get through your provider.

>>82498408
The reporting on it is a little muddy from the dozen articles I've found, but another article from the Independent (major newspaper in the UK) mentions the prosecution also standards for "illegally streaming copyrighted content".

Why are they so harsh on Guernsey?

>it's americucks pretend they don't have state funded broadcasting thread

this again, really?

>>82498446
I don't know how it works in the UK with the "free" channels funded by the government out there. it most likely is cable, but it isn't dependent on a box.

>>82498469
Yeah, its obvious that the law was brought in because of all the kodi boxes being sold but I think the wording is a bit ambiguous. There could still be the potential of people getting charged for streaming, though I think it would be unlikely

>>82498478
why would you tell lies on the internet?

So if you refuse entry and refuse to pay the bill they literally start peeking through the windows?

Isn't that invasion of privacy and you could sue them?

And how often do they start coming around if you refuse?

This whole situation seems bizarre.

>>82498552
Not him. But it's the BBC. They're pushing their agenda on us. Have you ever watched the FA cup on the BBC? They always pan to the fans, which is great, except those "fans" are always the same "people"... those "people" are the brown ones... the dirty dirty brown ones

well the revenue they get from licensing most likely more than covers the cost of those minimum wage jobs for would-be sex offenders, but I think it's more a way of keeping the peasants in line by kicking their asses now and again.

>>82498930
And then you report them for harassment, if you prove they're doing it every day. You then report them for trespassing; a person coming onto your property, even if it's the little garden at the front, is trespassing. They have no legal right to step on that ground and if you ask them to leave and they do not, they are trespassing.

If you can't see the value of the BBC then you need to be deported or killed.

Get rid of your television. Or, if you like to keep your television because you're some sort of faggot "gamer" then have them remove the TV aerial cable/digital box from your home. Simply owning a television doesn't necessitate a licence, it's the service provided by the aerial.

>>82499415
yes but you ant paying £145 for it.

>>82499189
just fyi; if you start reporting them for harassment and trespassing then they will be able to get a warrant - part of the requirements for capita getting a search warrant is that they have to prove that there is NO other way for them to access your house. Which will be the case if you for instance withdraw their 'implied right of access' by accusing them of trespass. At that stage they'll show up with a police escort and you WILL have to let them in.

so yeah, bad advice

Ok, it's not as bad the US ones which are just ridiculous and I unironically don't even consider those news. But still, BBC still has an obvious bias. How could you not, in a country with such limited free speech in so many areas.

I recently had debt passed on to Anneka bailiff company from TV licencing. I emailed them and said I no longer watched live broadcasts or any form of programming, I no long have a DVD player or any device which can receive live broadcasts or programming and they just cancelled the debt and that was the last of it.

I don't actually have a TV so its inconsequential if they do come round

It isn't cheap either.

But where can we go? I'm considering marrying an obese American just to get a visa at this point.

do americans just start these threads because their country is 60% white and ours isn't?

>>82500446
I suppose in the UK it's expressly for the BBC while other countries share it across several networks for state funded media, as well as being rolled into normal taxes which is the more unique point of the uk system?

>Foreigners don't realise they still get taxed on public television, its just a lot worse and compulsory

tbf, they dont really enforce shit, I don't have a license and they tried to contact me about it when i was in my university apartment.

interaction was basically like this.

>hi, our records indicate you have no tv license
>yep thats accurate
>can i come in to check you're not using a tv for live broadcasts?
>nope
>you can be fined one thou--*door closes*

fucking hell ARMED POLICE come with bbc licence idiots no wonder this country is going down the shit hole

This. Just because Americans don't get a separate bill for it doesn't make it any different. And at least Brits get access to more.

Also, if you guys think those videos show any kind of rude or egregious behavior, you've obviously never dealt with any kind of American authority figure. The interactions I'm seeing are downright pleasant except for the "muh property" people filming. Cops, collections agents, and tax people in the US are always assholes.

"trust me im a police officer"

huehuehue

>>82502569
what the hell just happened?
was the warrant bogus?

i don't understand, if it was a real warrant, why didn't they just go inside without his consent? if it wasn't a real warrant, isn't pretending that it is illegal?

>>82502734
The police are only there to avoid a breach of peace, not to enforce the CIVIL warrant. They have no right to access.

Again, tell them no, close the door.

>>82502883

Difference is we are getting rid of our state-funded liberal propaganda channel (PBS)

>>82503027
im watching a few of these (supposed warrants)

apparently the warrants are different than say, high court baliff warrants which mean they can come on the property.

because the bbc licence people are a private company (despite getting public money) they dont have the same powers as an actual police warrant. its bascally scare tactics, thats why the police dont say anything because if the police actually try and inforce it they will be committing an illegal act.

seriously uk is fucked up.

>>82503113
i know, i just think its hilarious they are armed given most police officers i have seen here dont carry guns kek.

>>82503113
that's interesting
so the police aren't enforcing the warrant? if i was a policeman, i'd just tell the homeowner this
"we're here to protect the peace, if you don't want to let him in we can't make you"

>>82503139
let me guess, if you say anything that can be remotely considered to be any form of implied consent at any point during the conversation they instantly storm your house?

>>82503491
yes. also i have noticed a lot of the people refuse to tell the licence people their names

just reading up basically licence people literally just look through your window or they just suspect you if you dont have a tv licence. if you did this with anything else you would get yourself in trouble in regards to court, basically its a law which really, if you go against it is difficult to enforce, especially these days. i guess most people pay because they dont know any better. fuck i wish i knew this before.

>>82503687
tv license is only for actually watching network tv right? if you use it as a netflix screen they technically shouldn't be able to touch you?

>>82501600
Because the subhumans that live in Scotland, and especially Glasgow, are the same type of scum that refuse to pay the TV license.

This is my favourite one
>I didn't say that
>yes you did, that's why I'm recording it

>>82503764
yes, this is why its tricky to enforce.

notice a lot of the licencers say "if you have a tv you must have a tv licence" whereby the people actually correct them and say "you dont need the licence for the tv its for watching live tv"

apparently you can still watch network tv without a licence as long as it isnt live.

Yes, it isn't a BBC license, its a television license.

Just be grateful you don't need a radio license anymore, they'd be charging you for having wifi.

>>82504189
Well, the British Board of Film Censors are gearing up to censor the entire internet for anything that 'might cause offence to a protected group' (I think its obvious this is impossible and they have no idea how to do it but everyone is pretending), porn will require logging onto a government identity server while viewing and ISPs are now logging all web access.

I think its already happened. The UK is the least free country in the west and possibly one of the least free in the world given that in many 3rd world countries they might have oppressive laws that they can't actually enforce.

We have an idiot Home Secretary who wrote to Facebook asking them to backdoor everything and was surprised when they said they'd rather not.

Oh and technically end-to-end encryption is illegal but the government has just realised if they ever enforce it, the financial institutions are toast. It never occurred to anyone when they were writing and passing the legislation apparently.

>>82497164
>Apparently the only way to find out that you even have a TV is if they send auditors to look through your window.

They also made TV detection vans and spread the rumor around that they work, it's apparently a hoax to scare people into buying a license.

>>82504673
>it's apparently a hoax to scare people into buying a license.
anyone with a brain could tell you that

We used to have this in Finland before they switched to the much better idea of just taxing everyone for it instead of having creepy old guys looking through your postbox to see if you've got any TVs laying around.

I wish they increased the taxes a bit though.

Investigatory Powers Bill.

Its bizarre to say the least. The legal doubt exists only because its so insane nobody can quite believe they mean it. The Home Secretary keeps saying she intended it though.

The same politicians (two middle aged women) frequently give speeches about how Britain is well-placed to be a global digital services provider.

They have no idea what they are talking about and nobody stopped them.

Christ... I'm all for pretending to do something to appease idiots (like the porn debacle which is just funny more than anything - having to formally request to opt in to see porn)
But this seems like it's just waiting for a court case to set the precedent and could literally destroy the country overnight

Well, the problem is Amber Rudd doesn't understand E2E is used in anything other than WhatsApp. I wish I was joking but I'm not.

Opt-in was Cameron's porn law, I'm talking about the new legislation.

Coming very soon, you'll need to use .gov.uk identity server to access porn. PornHub or whatever will redirect you first so your identity can be checked and recorded.

I'm surprised there is so little fuss about this too.

Why can't you handle the bantz, anon? Are you British or something? Maybe your government will censor it on your behalf

>>82505415
huh
well...

it won't last. let's be realistic
consider the amount of people who access porn in the country (every man and most women)
a combination of sites that aren't officially recognised as porn (see the letmewatchthis hilarity) and overload of the servers mean that they'll quickly rescind the law

especially when it means the lords can no longer watch their weird fetishes

>>82498146
Both an exaggeration on the length of imprisonment and the seriousness of it. I used to work in a magistrate court and its very rare to see someone get charged the full extent of a minor conviction.

If you were ever caught out by something like this, you would likely only receive a fine as a first timer. The only ones who would really go to prison would be those repeatedly doing it despite previous fines and warnings.

This is important, OP.

>that dude trying to contest the search warrant
>anyone with a computer is required to pay to license
is that actually true? any computer/phone with internet is able to access live tv, so that's perfectly reasonable if the law actually says so. how come they aren't just taking anyone with any internet access straight to court, if they don't have to prove they're watching, just that they're capable?

>>82497110
so what happens if you buy a large computer monitor and stream everything off the internet?
do you still need a license?

Or keep it in plain sight and tell them you only use it for video games or movies.

The amount of plausible deniability for owning a television but not watching Live TV is astronomical
