Recently I set up an illegal satelite dish in my garden to recieve European channels so that I could watch the football, and the NWSD (neighbourhood watch security drone for you yanks) flew over my house and spotted it. Now I have received a letter from the Council threatening to revoke my TV license and a 12 year ban unless I pay a £1000 fine
What are my rights here? Is there any way around this? I can't afford the fine because we've just had a hefty water bill through
post teapot, i have trouble believing this isnt bait.

What proof do they have it is for recieving television satellite signals?

Here's our kettle with various tea bags. The one in the shiny pot is the official tea I use, not the decaf rubbish It's pretty obvious. Why else would I use it? They probably sent that van round to intercept the signal or whatever it does
No, my friend is a gypsy who helped set me up with this dish. He's had one for years and never been caught but I guess I'm just unlucky

My local neighbourhood watch security drone saw me looking at non-interracial porn while it was hovering outside my window. I’m now being charged with masturbatory intolerance and attempted hate speech. Court hearing is next week and I’ll likely get 4-5 years. Sometimes you just have to admit to your mistakes and face the consequences.

>not enclosing your dish within a radome
you deserve it
Anthony Powell
If it was America, you'd just shoot the drone and claim you had never seen it.

Boy am I sure glad that my ancestors had the balls and foresight to leave that shithole

Is this a joke? This has to be a joke

Stop watching TV and read some books, try to understand how yourself and your country got so low
Dominic Hernandez
>Because it receives unauthorised TV channels why is it unauthorized, because youre not paying for those channels? also what does it matter if you have no tv license you can still watch tv what are those cunts gonna do about that
Grayson Cooper
TV detection vans don't exist and have never been used in a successful prosecution. Every single tv license prosecution has been based on someone saying too much or someone letting rv licensing goons onto your property. Tell them to fuck off they are a pvt company.
Daniel Johnson
Lmao what a bunch of cucks

Nah a lot of neighbourhood watches are adopting technology, it's just a neusance that they send EVERYTHING to the police ffs
But why dont you want to pay for Sky Q Ultra HD Gold subscription so Sky can pay the premier league 5 billion over 3 year so they in turn can pay Senegalese coke addicts 20 million per annum for kicking a ball around a lawn?
You pay the BBC to cuck you. it is tax payer funded.

It's bait, with the exception of listed buildings, there is nothing to stop him putting up a dish on his building, European tv satellites are in the same cluster as ours and even if they weren't, it's not illegal to point a dish at them. Plus they don't revoke tv licenses.
Luke Gomez
fake and gay you have to go back

So which is it? A tax on owning a tv or a tax for funding state run television programs?
do not respond to anythign they say. Do not confirm or deny anything. Simply do not communicate with them. You dont have to.
Any good attorney will explain this to you. You dont have to say a single word to anyone until you take the stand. It will never come to that.
To all you faggots who may at some time get in trouble with any kind of authority, the most imporatant piece of advice your attorney will tell you: SHUT YOUR MOUTH. exercise your right to remain silent.
If the police arrest you, consider yourself a prisoner of war. Tell them your name, your birthdate, and your social insurance number. Tell them you wish to have your attorney present during questioning.
Then shut the fuck up. Do not respond. at all. dont discuss the weather, dont discuss the football scores. dont talk to your "cellmate". dont fucking talk ... shut your fucking mouth
the latter. you don't need a license to own a television. you need the license to watch live broadcasts. but although the money raised all goes to the BBC, the license is legally required for ANY live broadcast televisionl including private sattelite or cable services. you do NOT need the license to use the internet, or watch dvds etc.
David Reed
Simple. You believe that aliens exist and are tying to contact them. If they try to tell you that dishes don't work that way, say you saw it online so it has to be real.
Benjamin Hughes
quality shitpost OP, have a (You), don't spend it all down in pub this evening I cant believe number of brainlets falling for it
it goes to fund the bbc which is meant to be quasi independent and impartial. they say it isn't a tax. You can buy a tv aslong as you don't watch television kek if you don't pay it, you can go to jail or get ridiculous fines.
Camden Wood
so the UK has become the totalitarian dystopia of science fiction
Christopher Martin
I work for the council and they have no power over tv licences. You do need planning permission if your satellite dish is a certain size but that's about it. If he can prove that he isn't watching UK terrestrial tv then he hasn't anything to work about
Jacob Sanchez
Over here u get like 200-500 (idk how many) feet above ur property. U fly a drone over in my air space, that's trespassing and I can shoot it down
Luke Thompson
500ft are you sure about that?
Kevin Gonzalez
Put some bird seed in the dish and say it is a bird feeder.

Jackson Martin
This is BS. Council doesn’t even handle TV licensing.
Shitty bait thread
