These are all relics of the analogue era now and I'm not confident that detector vans with working detection machinery exist any more. A few years ago I encountered a goon from TVL staring through a front window with binoculars.
Which is another interesting note: If you withdrew any operative from TVL's implied permission to enter a front garden could you take a civil suit for trespass? Or more worryingly, breaching Article 8, respect for private, family life and home and correspondence.
It could be viewed that it's directed surveillance, would they need a RIPA authority?
Who is holding the contractor or TVL to account? Would make quite an interesting panorama episode!
People do exactly that, there's a number of videos if you search youtube and various TV License terms and people complaing about Capita.
I should have course point out that I think the licence fee is terrific value and I happily pay mine, but I'm just not a fan of how it's ran and I'm not sure it's in keeping with a modern BBC or that everyone can afford to pay it should be prestered if they elect not to.
