You can only get in trouble if you let the goons into your house, and, this bears repeating: they have NO legal right. They use fear tactics and an appearance of officiality but you can literally just shut the door in their face. The only people who actually get nicked are old people who don't know any better and invite them in, and get conned by a fake "TV check", which is why that anon could perfectly reasonably not know anyone who got arrested for it.
>>1471443Brits will just watch TV anyway. Everyone's become clued in over time on Capita (the goon squad that BBC hires to enforce payments) having no real authority. Or they'll just watch streaming channels.
