How to deal with TV licensing people at your door?

As for allowing them entry you only have to let them in if they have a warrant from the courts (at which point they'll probably have the police with them). To get a warrant they'de need to have some evidence you're watching live tv without a license.

The last time they knocked I told them I was revoking their implied right to access and the guy got really angry. Then they refused to listen to that so they come and knocked again.

The second time they knocked I opened the door straight away and looked back into the main room and shouted 'please grab daddy's shotgun' and the TV license man run away and fell over the hedge with his clipboard in the garden. I couldn't stop laughing about it all day and 2 of my flatmates were up in one of the bedroom windows watching it. It was the funniest thing I've ever seen.

The best thing is I dont have a child or a shotgun. I was just bluffing to scare the guy because he ignored my request and they kept turning up knocking which is basically harassment.

He then come back with a warrant and found I didn't have a television anyway. Sucks to be this guy.

I just had someone from TV licensing knock on my door. I wouldn't have answered it if I'd known it was them to be honest. I refuse to deal with them out of principle; whilst their threatening letters are amusing, I find it despicable that they treat people as guilty until proving innocent and try and threaten and confuse people into buying a TV license they may not need.

I always reckoned I'd just tell them to go away, but he didn't reveal he was from TV licensing until after he'd asked me if I lived there (which is a weird thing to ask someone who's just answered the door, isn't it?) and it caught me off guard and I just stood there awkwardly saying I didn't want him to come in, while he kept acting as if it was quite reasonable to want to walk around my home to make sure I don't have a TV. He was starting to make me feel a bit silly for not wanting him to come in.

Anyone else had visits from TV licensing? What did you say/do to get them to leave?

Say you do watch Live TV without a license in halls at university, can they pinpoint exactly which person/room is watching it?

Say you shoplift in a store without CCTV, can they still monitor it?

Watching live TV without a licence is breaking the law.

I never said I currently do it, or would do it. Was merely a question

What a pointless comment

What a pointless observation

As I said; It seemed like a very loaded question.

If someone mentions weed to you do you say "possessing marijuana is against the law". He knows, there's no need to say.

If someone asks about the chances of getting caught with it, Yes.
