Exactly. People like to think they can argue with these goons as if it's going to change the way they act. Just ask for proof of who they are, if they don't.. just shut the door! The longer you engage with them, the more chance they have of catching you out. When he said Mrs Bailey she should have shut the door!
I'd just tell him to piss off straight away. They can't legally access your house without your permission unless they have a warrant given by a court, which they rarely bother with.
As a Canadian this is so odd to me, where does a TV company get the right to come to your house and want to inspect your tv if you haven't signed up for their service? do they just assume everyone who isn't paying them is a criminal?
The TV company (BBC) does not legally have the right to go into anyone's house, but they try to insist they do. Yes, they assume that anyone who doesn't have a license is a criminal & that they therefore have the right to bully their way on to private property to undertake illegal checks.
As crazy to alot of foreigners this sounds, YES! They throw their weight around whenever people stand up to them by using Psychology Tactics… but if you refuse to give them your Name & Shut the door in one of their Plastic Enforcement Officers, there’s not a thing Legally they can do. Just be polite with a ‘No thank you!’.
ID is the FIRST thing anyone from any where shows you if they're after business/delivering/doing a survey. If he refused I'd tell him I'm calling the police as he's obviously trying to scam people (In fact I might use that as an excuse to kick his ass off my property !)
I would agree! What kind of mentality would want to do this ' work' , it really is pathetic if this is the only job you are capable of. It's actually very sad.
You don't necessarily think to check every time you answer the door though, sadly. By the time you realise you really didn't want to answer to them, you already have.
"never admit to anything". She admitted she had a TV in the house. That will be enough for them to continue doorstep harassment in the hope they can find out more or catch her out.
My opinion is if they won't get a licence then don't buy fuckin TV, and you won't have problems. It's like buying a car with no licence and getting pissed off and complaining because you got pulled over by the peelers.

Wish I knew this when they made me pay a £300 fine! For not having a license after having my tv for a week. (I moved into my property for sky on day 2 went into labour on day 3) on day they came to my house it was the morning after the night I was discharged after giving birth so not only did I have a tv for 1 day but didn't even know if I watched live tv of not.

Even if she does use the service, wouldn't it be much easier to prevent people like her from using the service by just making it a subscription service?
I've been told before that apparently a relative of mine once had a licensing guy come in and ask him to pay licensing. He said he didn't need it because he doesn't use it as a TV at all but the guy insisted if he had a TV he had to pay. Eventually he got fed up, grabbed the hammer from his toolbox next to him and put it through the screen and said "there you fucking go, I don't have a TV" and the guy left. One of the most batshit, Glasgow stories I've been told from my family.
0:37 "oh there is..." that cocky old bastard, acting like he's got some authority. He looks like he's nearly ready for the cemetery anyway, so not many doors for him to knock on hopefully.
Glad I'm not the only female prepared to reject these people. Thanks for uploading, I think it helps others to know that you can stand up for your rights.
They aren't "rights" they are privileges given to you by the government and they can be taken away faster then they can be given. If you don't believe me then answer me this, if we all have "rights" then how come during lockdown in Scotland it was made illegal by the government to go outside unless it was to do something that the government ruled as essential? What I'm saying is you think you have the right to do what you want and go where you want but you don't you have the privilege of it and that privilege has been taken away for a year now in countries.
4 years and counting now lads. In case anyone wonders, you are on a cyclic rotation of TV licence "warning" letters. They start off "Do you need a licence?" and progress to "We KNOW you don't have a licence" to "GET A LICENCE NOW BEFORE ITS TOO LATE" and finally "URGENT A VISIT HAS BEEN SCHEDULED ON to BUST YOUR CRIMINAL ASS" (or it may be any other date so get your TV licence now!). They just loop back to the start. I'm on my 3rd or 4th loop now.
I got a new one recently, asking to confirm I still live at my property, stating if I didn't reply they'd assume I no longer live there. So I ignored it and now apparently I don't live at my house because they chose to assume so without any reason for it. It's laughable how relevant they think they are.
How alarming a stranger comes to your home and is hostile like this not declaring who he is he could be a serial killer or rapist ffs TV Licence are bullies
logic: force us to receive live broadcasts that we dont want, with no way to opt out of, and force us to pay for this service that we dont want, cant afford, and cant opt out of.
To be fair... an electronic device must accept any undesired interference according to ISO standards. If you didn't purchase the television with the intention of viewing live broadcasts, an argument could be made that it's the BBCs fault for broadcasting "undesired interference."
@@SeekerGoldstone It's not interference if the channel being tuned to is dedicated to that signal. it's only interference if BBC is playing overtop of a different channel.
@@Kaleidio I dont think that's the case, at least not legally. That would mean that a tv would have to be programmed to recognize intent in the broadcast. If I start broadcasting a looping video of my swinging wang, and I broadcast at the exact frequency of channel 69... that is interference that you did not intend. You didnt buy the tv with the intent of seeing my genitals... that was something I did to you, it's not your fault. An identical argument could be made for Eastenders.
+Kutta Kyte they cant do nothing they HAVE TO PROVE you are watching live tv,the only way that can happen is by letting them in to see your tv on with live channels they came in my house i was watching channel 4,they took me to court and it was thrown out as no evidence as they had no evidence of me watching bbc channels live i only have now tv on demand AND YOU DO NOT NEED A LICENSE TO WATCH ON DEMAND IT IS THE LAW :)
+Kutta Kyte Do not let them take control of the conversation. Do not answer their question's (I cannot answer that question is a good reply) but ask them questions continuously and rapidly. The whole purpose is to irritate, annoy and piss them off, but for you to have fun in doing so. These scumbags actually believe they have control over you! THEY DON'T! AND of course ALWAYS film them.

Let's get even more people to cancel their tv licence to the point where Capita is swamped with so many cancellations, and the BBC loses so much revenue, that they cannot function anymore.
I read years ago that the majority of Scottish women in prison was for TV licence evasion. Goes to show these Capita 'employees' pick on soft targets. Racketeering that would put the Mafia to shame.
And now it's been revealed that it's women in their twenties who are the majority of license fee "evaders". And after the July 2015 Tory budget, watch as MORE single young mothers (probably) get busted for evasion...
I had someone recently call at my door in an attempt to do "tv research." I wasn't at home at the time so he put a note through my door informing me that he would return. Gladly, I thought. My neighbour called me outside to the fence between us when this efficient and very diligent promise keeper reappeared some few days later. Gullible me informed him that I would not be filmed on television (being the shy type us falsely modest ones usually are!) He assured me that I would not be filmed, and that sorted, the research began. He asked me countless times what my favourite to programmes are. I informed him that I did not have a tv licence and did not watch tv, as I would consider paying for the privilege of my viewing unrelenting repeat dribble of Ark related proportions a waste of money. I told him I watch all sorts of this pre recorded delightful manifestation of entertainment at will for free if I choose on my iPad and spend my money on much worthier pursuits. Satisfied with glee that my no longer smirking neighbour was disappointedly now slinking off into the back garden, having realised that no anticipated fine was in the offing, I carried on with the 'researcher's' hopeless and pitiful
When I bought my first home and moved out of my parents house there was about 20 letters from the BBC all using threatening language of visits/fines/court action in my new homes postbox. I literally hasn't even moved in yet. The way they behave is disgusting this is proof that just because something is law it doesn't make it right. I urge everyone to cancel your TV license (there's not much to watch anyway) and use netflix instead. News updates u can get on your phone
The BBC does tons of stuff beside their TV channels. I don't watch TV, sometimes use their streaming service (watching Ludwig atm) but I pay for my license as I think it is important to have a public broadcaster. The BBC is far from being perfect but at least they are not dependent on those with money and willing to use it to their advantage

"Fair enough it no bother. Goodbye"
And close the door
1:11 Mistake made there. You're not obligated to tell that stranger at your door whether you have a TV or not. None of his business. Better answer is: "That's none of your business", or "I'm not going to tell you any of the the contents of my private home". Also, "Please leave my private property immediately".
Fella is trying to check TV licenses, (his job revolves around TVs) yet doesn’t want to be on TV? 😂
id of shut the door as soon as he failed to identify himself
never answer your door unless its friends of course, is the best way to deal with anyone its never good news, great job lady
American dude here just wanting to let you great people know that I absolutely love these videos and the fact that you're standing up for your rights. Power to the people
Specularstone00_ Tv what rights are they?
If she does use public tv then she should pay like everyone else
You mean using a service everyone else is paying for?
Even if she does use the service, wouldn't it be much easier to prevent people like her from using the service by just making it a subscription service?
The Tasteless Stoner what difference would making it a subscription service make? All you need is an Ariel to access channels.
And the most important one, NEVER ANSWER THE DOOR to any strangers.
I got the hiding idea from a Japanese sniper they found in the jungle - 25 years after the war ended and he NEVER had a TV license 🤔
You what ? A chap knocks on my door asking who I am ? Oh, no : I want to know who you are. After all, it is you calling me.
Doesn't he need permission to film on your private property? You could sell him a temporary licence to film for ...say £145. Seems fair.
FUCK SAVILLE AND THE BBC
Toby Robinson she is resident/occupier of the property.
He would only need that if someone was watching the live stream... Haha
He doesn't appear to be filming.
Roger Buoy... He wasn’t filming her, he was recording her. There’s a difference you thick twat !
Actually you don't need converse for one second. Simply shut the door in their face.
Well done girl, you've got me punching the air in triumph!!
He’s required to ID himself on command if he’s at your property - you have every right to make him leave immediately if he doesn’t
Which he did you prick
I've been told before that apparently a relative of mine once had a licensing guy come in and ask him to pay licensing. He said he didn't need it because he doesn't use it as a TV at all but the guy insisted if he had a TV he had to pay. Eventually he got fed up, grabbed the hammer from his toolbox next to him and put it through the screen and said "there you fucking go, I don't have a TV" and the guy left. One of the most batshit, Glasgow stories I've been told from my family.
0:37 "oh there is..." that cocky old bastard, acting like he's got some authority. He looks like he's nearly ready for the cemetery anyway, so not many doors for him to knock on hopefully.
Ready for the cemetery? Looks like they dug him up from one, They are so desperate to find scum who will do this kind of work.
Wouldnt have been so cocky if a massive bloke answered the door i bet
FatKontroller
LoL I nearly pissed myself with that remark ;-)
Wow you guys really are life’s bottom feeders
This is just horrible like fuck off from him and grow up
The fact that we have to trick the government into believing that we don't watch live tv broadcasts in order to not pay for a tv license is hilarious.
Glad I'm not the only female prepared to reject these people. Thanks for uploading, I think it helps others to know that you can stand up for your rights.
They aren't "rights" they are privileges given to you by the government and they can be taken away faster then they can be given. If you don't believe me then answer me this, if we all have "rights" then how come during lockdown in Scotland it was made illegal by the government to go outside unless it was to do something that the government ruled as essential? What I'm saying is you think you have the right to do what you want and go where you want but you don't you have the privilege of it and that privilege has been taken away for a year now in countries.
@@punkrock1989 lol cant imagine what it's like being in your head bro
@@AlmightlySaintGeko He isn’t wrong though is he.
Next, they'll make you get a license to read and breathe! Crazy U.K. law.
I wouldn't let that weird creep into my home and I'm a 230 pound male. Yecch!
"do you have a TV? " "it is none of you damn business". case closed, goodbye.
Best advice ive heard in a while m8 although i wouldnt open the door
Too many words! Just close the door!
If you use public tv then you have to pay like everyone else, what makes you so special?
DrCuriensapprentice You pay?
Jack Haughey yes I do, nice try matey
I apply the narrators closing words of advice to my mother in law, and feel very happy as a result.
Reminds me of the Still Game guy: "Open the door, for I am a bogus licence man, wi fake ID and am 'ere to ransack yer hoose" 😂😂
That's a show that's worth paying for 😂
Good for you darling 👌 bloody TV licence they should do away with it for good we've got enough things to worry about without worrying about TV licence
4 years and counting now lads. In case anyone wonders, you are on a cyclic rotation of TV licence "warning" letters. They start off "Do you need a licence?" and progress to "We KNOW you don't have a licence" to "GET A LICENCE NOW BEFORE ITS TOO LATE" and finally "URGENT A VISIT HAS BEEN SCHEDULED ON to BUST YOUR CRIMINAL ASS" (or it may be any other date so get your TV licence now!).
They just loop back to the start. I'm on my 3rd or 4th loop now.
I got a new one recently, asking to confirm I still live at my property, stating if I didn't reply they'd assume I no longer live there. So I ignored it and now apparently I don't live at my house because they chose to assume so without any reason for it. It's laughable how relevant they think they are.
I haven't had a tv licence since 1993. I have a tv but I use it as a monitor and when you have the internet, you don't need a tv.
exacly I use a tv for xbox youtube and I chromecast films from my phone to my telle
Just goes to show how ridiculous the BBC’s process of collecting fees is. No other service operates like this
Love the way this goon goes up and down on his toes like the stereotypical copper.
in the UK now it is not safe to answer your door to anyone unless you know them.
How alarming a stranger comes to your home and is hostile like this not declaring who he is he could be a serial killer or rapist ffs TV Licence are bullies
jim bowens back
you cant beat a bit of Bully. lol
he never got his bfh
His Bus fare home?? preferably an ambulance," keep outta the black and into the red............"
"listen to Tony"
nothing in this game for 2 in a bed and he dosent get a bully a tankard and a set of darts
logic: force us to receive live broadcasts that we dont want, with no way to opt out of, and force us to pay for this service that we dont want, cant afford, and cant opt out of.
To be fair... an electronic device must accept any undesired interference according to ISO standards.
If you didn't purchase the television with the intention of viewing live broadcasts, an argument could be made that it's the BBCs fault for broadcasting "undesired interference."
@@SeekerGoldstone It's not interference if the channel being tuned to is dedicated to that signal. it's only interference if BBC is playing overtop of a different channel.
@@Kaleidio I dont think that's the case, at least not legally. That would mean that a tv would have to be programmed to recognize intent in the broadcast.
If I start broadcasting a looping video of my swinging wang, and I broadcast at the exact frequency of channel 69... that is interference that you did not intend. You didnt buy the tv with the intent of seeing my genitals... that was something I did to you, it's not your fault.
An identical argument could be made for Eastenders.
Open door.
Hi --- bye
Close door.
Ask to see his enhanced DBS check
DONT ENGAGE IN CONVERSATION ............................ JUST SHUT THE DOOR!!
If he won’t tell you shut the door
What happens if you never answer the door?
+Kutta Kyte you have an instant win
I never answer the door to anyone I don't know. I only answer the door to people I know.
+Kutta Kyte they cant do nothing they HAVE TO PROVE you are watching live tv,the only way that can happen is by letting them in to see your tv on with live channels
they came in my house i was watching channel 4,they took me to court and it was thrown out as no evidence as they had no evidence of me watching bbc channels live i only have now tv on demand AND YOU DO NOT NEED A LICENSE TO WATCH ON DEMAND IT IS THE LAW :)
SP330Y Thanks
+Kutta Kyte
Do not let them take control of the conversation. Do not answer their question's (I cannot answer that question is a good reply) but ask them questions continuously and rapidly. The whole purpose is to irritate, annoy and piss them off, but for you to have fun in doing so. These scumbags actually believe they have control over you! THEY DON'T! AND of course ALWAYS film them.
If she’s had so many undesirables at her door I’m surprised she opened it especially with children in the house. Open a window or just don’t answer it.
I get the feeling that he thought it was going to be easy. Left with tail between his legs. Well done to that lady.
Jesus! Imagine actually getting up every morning, putting on that uniform and knocking on people’s doors for a living. He should exchange that outfit for a wizards costume so people might take him a bit more seriously.
I've not paid a tv license EVER.
You should have just stood there and stared at him without saying a thing.
They need to remove the TV license now, it’s beyond a joke
Let's get even more people to cancel their tv licence to the point where Capita is swamped with so many cancellations, and the BBC loses so much revenue, that they cannot function anymore.
I read years ago that the majority of Scottish women in prison was for TV licence evasion. Goes to show these Capita 'employees' pick on soft targets. Racketeering that would put the Mafia to shame.
And now it's been revealed that it's women in their twenties who are the majority of license fee "evaders". And after the July 2015 Tory budget, watch as MORE single young mothers (probably) get busted for evasion...
I'm new to this, but surely the door should be shut with a polite "no thanks"? I would not engage them at all.
For my own protection I am closing the door.
I had someone recently call at my door in an attempt to do "tv research." I wasn't at home at the time so he put a note through my door informing me that he would return. Gladly, I thought. My neighbour called me outside to the fence between us when this efficient and very diligent promise keeper reappeared some few days later. Gullible me informed him that I would not be filmed on television (being the shy type us falsely modest ones usually are!) He assured me that I would not be filmed, and that sorted, the research began. He asked me countless times what my favourite to programmes are. I informed him that I did not have a tv licence and did not watch tv, as I would consider paying for the privilege of my viewing unrelenting repeat dribble of Ark related proportions a waste of money. I told him I watch all sorts of this pre recorded delightful manifestation of entertainment at will for free if I choose on my iPad and spend my money on much worthier pursuits. Satisfied with glee that my no longer smirking neighbour was disappointedly now slinking off into the back garden, having realised that no anticipated fine was in the offing, I carried on with the 'researcher's' hopeless and pitiful
Don't engage in conversation.....not even admitting you are the householder.
If you ask who he is and he evades the answer...just shut the door
When the bbc is defunded these goons will be unemployable this one is a particularly nasty piece of work
love how she says i dont let strange men in my house. so funny hahahahaha brilliant. well done
REMEMBER: these goons are nothing more than salesmen. its not a crime to turn them away from your land
just never answer the door.
When I bought my first home and moved out of my parents house there was about 20 letters from the BBC all using threatening language of visits/fines/court action in my new homes postbox.
I literally hasn't even moved in yet.
The way they behave is disgusting this is proof that just because something is law it doesn't make it right.
I urge everyone to cancel your TV license (there's not much to watch anyway) and use netflix instead.
News updates u can get on your phone
The BBC does tons of stuff beside their TV channels. I don't watch TV, sometimes use their streaming service (watching Ludwig atm) but I pay for my license as I think it is important to have a public broadcaster. The BBC is far from being perfect but at least they are not dependent on those with money and willing to use it to their advantage
@cehaem2 you can be brainwashed by their propaganda if you want, I'll pass thanks, and I look forward to Elon Musk putting the legacy media out of business
I love her voice, damn I'd listen to her read the phone book !
As much as I would like to argue with these GOONS. It's not wise to engage in conversation with them.
You did great! Eventually most of us will get a visit. Its how you react to them that matters.
after 4 years of not bothering with tv licenses , come home one morning to find my name on a tv licenses letter!
how weird is that
I thought he said he couldn't tell her who he was, until she confirmed she was the person he was looking for?
That's total crap as anyone coming to a door should ID themslves first, same goes for phone calls, if they ask me if I am Colin Paterson, I ask straight back to whom I am talking before anything else.
simply say ......Not today , thank you and close the door . No discussion , nothing to say.
i wouldn't have even kept speaking to him, he wont tell me his name he can leave my doorstep. I probably wouldn't answer the door due to laziness anyway
they have no authority to enter home just stream tv ive gotten away with it for years
He's talking crap, you don't need a licience to receive live TV, you need a licience to watch live TV.
"I can't show you my id unless I know who you are" 🙄
Never give them the time of day and ignore them i have been for over 10 years and theres nothing they can do about it.
Let's say I don't open the door, then they will always leave a letter? What's the contents? What I should do?
@@mafaldasofia ive only been left letters a couple of times and they're basically threat letters saying if you have a T.V. and no license they can fine you £1000 but just bin that. Ive had the T.V. license lot at my door with the police and a warrant and i never let them in. The police cant help them they are just there to prevent a breech of the peace. I spoke to them out my bedroom window and at first the cop demanded i open the door. I told her to shut up you're only hear to prevent a BOP and if you help a private company to enter my property ill take a civil suit out against you personally. That shut her up and the police went and stood out of my garden. Then the BBC goon demands i open the door because he has a warrant. So i told him you have a warrant break the door down ( i know that no judge or magistrate will issue a forced entry warrant for a T.V. license) told him im going back to watching Netflix with my earphones so you can knock at the door all day for all i care. I watched the BBC goon talk to the police for a few mins then they all went. Theres no way they can prove you're watching live T.V. as they arent allowed to look through your window and they dont have the technology to see if youre watching live T.V. They also have zero authority over anyone and cant do anything if you close the door in their face without saying a word. Just ignore them i have been for years now
@@howey935 i adore you, amazing story
Why can't I get these visits. I'd love answer the door to these weapons
Can the BBC be taken to court for employing bullying tactics?
I'd just say I'm not obliged under any law to answer any and all of your questions goodbye and promptly close the door
Or ideally just do not open the door at all
