Paid your TV licence?
Looks like Glasgow airport has started this initiative.
Tax evasion across the borders would be another good thing to look at together with linked UK bank accounts...

If purchasing in U.K the the company notifies tv licensing of your purchase its automatic with sale of Tv and if you've already got a tv licence that's fine.

Yes, but even when I was a student I always gave a false address when buying a (second hand) telly as I knew that the tv detector vans were empty. It was all a con.

Aren't they just quoting TV license's and Council Tax as examples. It's unpaid fines, meaning that you have been to Court and been found guilty of an offence and fined, not merely a month or two behind in your payments.
Obviously won't affect the good people of this forum.

I am not sure how they categorise it ,but on the radio here they say there are a lot of people being done in court every week for no licence and getting criminal records. Thats why they are changing the law . Of course the BBC are protesting .

I drove back from Paris last week to Calais ,but I stopped 30 mile from Calais for a coffee break and then drove non stop to the Shuttle.. Never saw any illegals ,although its mainly no where for them to stand on the road to the Euro Shuttle.

Always surprises me how many people defend people who don't pay their bills. Although I agree there are many failings in the uk, this doesn't mean we should turn a blind eye to those who don't pay their way.

I don't know if this is getting confused or as per usual 'Media Scare Tactics'
My point is that there is a hell of a difference between people who do not pay their fines and people who decide not to renew a TV licence or any other type of renewable item.
Yes ok fair enough, tackle the fine dodgers where it hurts.
But don't try bullying people because they decide not to renew something.

The reason I posted that link as the post before said it must be a Wind Up.
Well the quote at the start of this thread that the OP has quoted - see Post #1: -
Quote:
Police are stopping holidaymakers who have not paid their TV licence fee or council tax from leaving the country.
New legislation and tighter border controls are being used to identify fee-dodgers if they attempt to leave the UK.
Sun-seekers passing through airports and sea ports are being warned they will be “inconvenienced” if they have outstanding fines to pay.
The UK Government’s E-Borders initiative and the Immigration Act 2014 allow a greater sharing of information between the police and third parties, facilitating more in-depth checks.

It has nothing to do with TV Licenses, it is about people leaving the UK with outstanding fines of any sort.
“We will always take action against those who have outstanding fines and/or warrants, and those who travel through our airports and seaports will undoubtedly interact with police and law enforcement as part of their journey.
If people are going to break the law in the UK then think they can flee to shores anew and dodge their fines might now think again about paying the said fines.
