00:00:03.960 --> 00:00:09.720
<v Speaker 1>Hello, good morning. I hope you enjoyed that little start video. Yeah,

2
00:00:09.800 --> 00:00:14.599
<v Speaker 1>this is about TV detective vans. I wonder what's going

3
00:00:14.640 --> 00:00:23.000
<v Speaker 1>on here right? This actually bugs me to death. It

4
00:00:23.120 --> 00:00:27.760
<v Speaker 1>took about fake news. You know the fact checkers. While

5
00:00:27.800 --> 00:00:32.679
<v Speaker 1>they check all the facts, well they let the Mirror

6
00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:39.560
<v Speaker 1>dot co dot UK come up this headline TV license

7
00:00:39.719 --> 00:00:47.159
<v Speaker 1>vans catching people across the UK in minutes, TV Licensing

8
00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:52.119
<v Speaker 1>sends the detective vans out across the UK. Tens of

9
00:00:52.119 --> 00:00:55.079
<v Speaker 1>thousands of people across the UK have been caught watching

10
00:00:55.119 --> 00:00:59.840
<v Speaker 1>live or BBC television without the license necessary. The Licensing

11
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:03.039
<v Speaker 1>It says it has a range of detection tools at

12
00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:06.680
<v Speaker 1>a disposal in their vans. It has some aspects of

13
00:01:06.680 --> 00:01:11.000
<v Speaker 1>the equipment have been developed in such secrecy that engineers

14
00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:15.560
<v Speaker 1>working on the detection methods don't know how it's or

15
00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:18.239
<v Speaker 1>been built and put together and how it works, so

16
00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:22.560
<v Speaker 1>not even they know how the other detection methods work either.

17
00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:25.560
<v Speaker 1>This gives us the best chance of catching the invaders.

18
00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:30.040
<v Speaker 1>Detective bands can detect the use of TV receiving equipment,

19
00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:37.920
<v Speaker 1>especially specifically targeted addresses, within minutes. The organization also has

20
00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:41.879
<v Speaker 1>a database have thirty one million license and license addresses

21
00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:47.000
<v Speaker 1>and it's visiting officers. We will have access to this,

22
00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:51.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean command. They've got a database of who had

23
00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:54.319
<v Speaker 1>a license and who haven't got one now and what

24
00:01:54.439 --> 00:01:56.599
<v Speaker 1>happened to the rest of the millions I think about

25
00:01:56.599 --> 00:01:59.319
<v Speaker 1>fifty add million in the UK. Why don't they have

26
00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:01.920
<v Speaker 1>any details whether they've got a license or not got

27
00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:09.719
<v Speaker 1>a license? I don't know anyway, That's interesting, isn't it now?

28
00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:15.879
<v Speaker 1>What's even more interesting? A freedom of information request to

29
00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:21.400
<v Speaker 1>the BBC in twenty seventeen. There's two of them. This

30
00:02:21.479 --> 00:02:27.800
<v Speaker 1>is a mister tank card, he asks. Sorry. They reply

31
00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:34.360
<v Speaker 1>to his question, which was I have heard from various

32
00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:38.280
<v Speaker 1>sources that your TV detective bands can actually detect if

33
00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:43.439
<v Speaker 1>someone's watching the TV. Could you please advise and they

34
00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:50.000
<v Speaker 1>come up with a standard response. Please note that TV

35
00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:54.520
<v Speaker 1>licensing is a trade that mark used by companies contracted

36
00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:58.680
<v Speaker 1>by the BBC to administer the collection of television license

37
00:02:58.719 --> 00:03:03.680
<v Speaker 1>fees and of the television licensing system, so they run

38
00:03:03.719 --> 00:03:11.639
<v Speaker 1>by people like Capital Business services. Over the counter services

39
00:03:11.639 --> 00:03:14.879
<v Speaker 1>are provided by Paypoint in the UK and the Post

40
00:03:14.919 --> 00:03:19.800
<v Speaker 1>Office in Alaman. Marketing and printing services contracted by Proximity

41
00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:25.680
<v Speaker 1>London Limited. Media Services This is probably where the propaganda

42
00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:30.719
<v Speaker 1>starts from. Are contracted to Media Planning Limited trading as

43
00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:34.639
<v Speaker 1>Havas Media UK. The BBC is a public can file

44
00:03:34.759 --> 00:03:40.319
<v Speaker 1>in respect of the television license. Firstly, PSB advised that

45
00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:42.240
<v Speaker 1>the Act gives a general rate of access to all

46
00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:46.039
<v Speaker 1>types of recorded information or by public affilis when not

47
00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:49.439
<v Speaker 1>required to create new information. To respond to any requests

48
00:03:51.199 --> 00:03:54.159
<v Speaker 1>with this query rather than a request for recorded information,

49
00:03:54.840 --> 00:03:57.479
<v Speaker 1>I can take outside the scope of the Act that

50
00:03:57.560 --> 00:04:02.240
<v Speaker 1>TV license detective vans do exists and our effective means

51
00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:10.039
<v Speaker 1>of enforcement. We do publish information about how we enforce

52
00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:20.319
<v Speaker 1>the license as this is available on TV license and websites. Yeah,

53
00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:29.240
<v Speaker 1>so it's run by different agencies. This guy is asking

54
00:04:29.399 --> 00:04:32.079
<v Speaker 1>about you know, where is your detective vans? Now do

55
00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:39.279
<v Speaker 1>you have a picture and all that. Basically, the BBC

56
00:04:39.399 --> 00:04:45.160
<v Speaker 1>has found that it does hold information that comes in

57
00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:50.480
<v Speaker 1>in terms of his requests, but they've concluded that the

58
00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:54.360
<v Speaker 1>exemptions in the Freedom of Information Act applying, We're not

59
00:04:54.519 --> 00:04:59.600
<v Speaker 1>able to provide the details of images of TV licensing bands,

60
00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:04.519
<v Speaker 1>do they exist, where they're located? Because its disclosure would

61
00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:11.120
<v Speaker 1>lately prejudice the detection, investigation and or prosecution of offenses

62
00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:15.319
<v Speaker 1>and or collection of the TV license fee. Section thirty

63
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:18.759
<v Speaker 1>one of the Freedom of Information Act permits the BBC

64
00:05:19.240 --> 00:05:23.319
<v Speaker 1>to withhold information whose disclosure would be lately to prejudice

65
00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:27.519
<v Speaker 1>the prevention or detection of crime, the collection of the

66
00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:33.000
<v Speaker 1>fee and so and look I just said, so that's

67
00:05:33.560 --> 00:05:38.920
<v Speaker 1>basically their way out of it. You know, they can't

68
00:05:39.160 --> 00:05:41.959
<v Speaker 1>give you any information, whether they real or not, although

69
00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:54.120
<v Speaker 1>we suspect they're not, because it would stop the investigations. Well,

70
00:05:54.120 --> 00:06:00.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to play another clip at the end. That

71
00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:06.759
<v Speaker 1>was another TV licensing detector advert. Now IOI add fission

72
00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:12.120
<v Speaker 1>intelligence overview says no, the high tech program identifying TV

73
00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:17.519
<v Speaker 1>detector vans are largely a myth or scare tactic. The

74
00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:21.120
<v Speaker 1>vans do visit addresses suspected of not having a license

75
00:06:21.279 --> 00:06:26.720
<v Speaker 1>using database information are your computer, probably and sometimes basic

76
00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:35.399
<v Speaker 1>information and basic equipment, but prosecutions rely on other evidence,

77
00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:41.199
<v Speaker 1>not the van readings itself. The vans therefore are real vehicles,

78
00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:46.040
<v Speaker 1>but the capabilities are probably zero's. They mainly act as

79
00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:51.319
<v Speaker 1>a psychological deterrant, rely on more on database checks and

80
00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:55.319
<v Speaker 1>non players. Okay, so that's a half in the middle

81
00:06:55.360 --> 00:07:01.000
<v Speaker 1>of them. They do exist. They don't detect. They're scare

82
00:07:01.079 --> 00:07:05.160
<v Speaker 1>mongering tactic and the media company that's linked to TV

83
00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:10.759
<v Speaker 1>license probably works that ways of scam people. Are you

84
00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:17.720
<v Speaker 1>the van in the background here, so that that was

85
00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:26.600
<v Speaker 1>in the mirror. This is what really annoys me. It

86
00:07:26.879 --> 00:07:34.720
<v Speaker 1>really really does the mirror. Yeah, it shouldn't be saying,

87
00:07:37.360 --> 00:07:42.720
<v Speaker 1>you know their licensing vans, I've got this special equipment on. However,

88
00:07:42.839 --> 00:07:44.560
<v Speaker 1>what they do sound the art could just come from

89
00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:51.199
<v Speaker 1>the BBC itself saying that our equipment is all technical.

90
00:07:52.319 --> 00:07:56.920
<v Speaker 1>But they shouldn't really be allowed to spread false information

91
00:07:57.040 --> 00:08:00.399
<v Speaker 1>when it's not true. AI, I mean you must have

92
00:08:00.439 --> 00:08:03.879
<v Speaker 1>got their sources from somewhere. Says it doesn't actually exist

93
00:08:04.959 --> 00:08:08.079
<v Speaker 1>the equipment, but the bands do. The mirror says the

94
00:08:08.120 --> 00:08:14.680
<v Speaker 1>equipment exists, so does a BBC And in Birmingham the

95
00:08:14.759 --> 00:08:17.040
<v Speaker 1>warning has been issued as a TV lescense fee can

96
00:08:17.160 --> 00:08:20.560
<v Speaker 1>rise again with house eizes risking a thousand pound fine

97
00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:25.720
<v Speaker 1>for not paying. Householders have been warned in Birmingham area

98
00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:31.600
<v Speaker 1>over detective bands, t relations and company cautions as a

99
00:08:31.720 --> 00:08:36.159
<v Speaker 1>range of detection tools. It's disposable, yes, a small database.

100
00:08:36.879 --> 00:08:40.080
<v Speaker 1>The company said. Some aspects of the have developed in

101
00:08:40.159 --> 00:08:43.120
<v Speaker 1>such a secrecy, et cetera, et cetera. That's the same

102
00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:50.639
<v Speaker 1>old story the old probably had. Would this be anything

103
00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:55.200
<v Speaker 1>to do with anything? Telegraph dot co dot UK two

104
00:08:55.279 --> 00:08:59.679
<v Speaker 1>months ago BBC loses one billion as more viewous canceled

105
00:08:59.720 --> 00:09:05.120
<v Speaker 1>TV license corporation makes two million enforcement visits as cost

106
00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:16.360
<v Speaker 1>of evasion adds up. So yeah, the newspaper there, So

107
00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:21.519
<v Speaker 1>it's costing all that money because people are canceling, So

108
00:09:21.559 --> 00:09:23.799
<v Speaker 1>they've got to make some proper candap, haven't they too,

109
00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:28.080
<v Speaker 1>to counteract that. What do you think anyway? Do you

110
00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:31.440
<v Speaker 1>have a TV license? Do you think they should go

111
00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:35.320
<v Speaker 1>streaming there and let leave people alone? Lake shore and

112
00:09:35.399 --> 00:09:40.000
<v Speaker 1>comment or put any links that are helpful to people

113
00:09:40.080 --> 00:09:43.519
<v Speaker 1>in the comment section. Lake Sharon comment like I said,

114
00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:46.559
<v Speaker 1>and have a great day. It's been andy. Five minute

115
