TV Licensing
One of the fundamental aspects of UK law is that people are presumed innocent until sufficient evidence is put before a court to convict them. On the whole the system works pretty well, but with one notable exception - the television licence.
Every property in the UK using equipment to receive or record live TV signals requires a licence. If you don’t have television equipment - as 1 in 20 properties in the UK doesn’t - then you don’t need a licence. Unfortunately the people responsible for administering the TV licence - an organisation called TV Licensing - don’t believe that anyone could live without a television. Even if you tell them that you don’t require a licence they will still harass you to prove it. They are very persistent, often using complicated legal jargon and downright lies to con people into compliance or self-incrimination. They turn justice on its head by expecting you to prove your innocence rather than them proving your guilt.
TV Licensing is a brand new blog that aims to separate fact from fiction when it comes to the television licence. Our informative articles tell you exactly what the law requires and how to defend yourself from TV Licensing harassment if you don’t require a licence.
It’s eye opening stuff - instead of some communist state or Orwellian novel this is happening in the UK today.
