TVL are not going to visit with a warrant, a court will only issue a warrant if they have a valid reason to believe I am watching TV without a licence. (Unless of course TVL lie to the court)
Saying there is sod all I can do is untrue, the only reason the police forced entry to my property last year was because I wasn't in. The police apparently had reasonable evidence (actually they had no doubt) that I was committing criminal activities, but they ended up with a lot of egg on their face and an officer was been transferred to other duties.
I don't have to prove to anyone I'm not breaking the law unless I'm arrested and charged for a crime.
TVL are unable to gain access onto my property if I am not here to open the gate, they can however post a letter into my outside postbox.
I take my privacy very seriously, as I said my activities are no business of anyone else.

I don't know ,are you ?? .There are a few on here who have swore blind that they don't need a licence and then gone onto post in another thread about a favourite BBC program ,180,000 people per year are prosecuted in court for not having a TVL,400,000 per year are caught without one many of who claim they don't need one

So, have I ever posted about a favourite BBC program?
I wonder how many times I have commented on recent TV programs. Even if I did, how would that mean I have means of watching TV at home?
My partner does have a TV at her house where I spend about half of my time. (I rarely watch TV when I'm there because it just doesn't interest me)
