What are the potential penalties for not paying the license fee?
You get groped by Harvey Weinstein
HAYOOOOOW!
Harvey Weinstein grope jokeNo.632
But seriously, I've heard conflicting things.
In my experience, NOT A DAMN FUCKING THING. You can string these jerk offs along for so long then you just change address and forget about it.
I've heard/read about people being imprisoned after going to court. In those instances, presumably, it's people who are in very fixed accommodation - they're not going anywhere - and they're stupid enough to let inspectors enter their property and catch them with a television and they sign a document admitting guilt and it goes to court. If you don't want to go to prison you just pay the fee/fine you've incurred.
As I said, I'm very skeptical about it all - I think, like in alot of cases, they only have as much power as you give them. These 'inspectors' have no power whatsoever, they're not the police. I ignored these shysters when I did have issues with them; nowadays, I don't have a TV as I'm very active, don't watch TV cos it's crap and watch movies on a laptop.
