statistically what are the chances of me being caught if I don't pay the TV licence ?

I've been checked twice - once at university, once when living in a shared house. Luckily I've always had a license so wasn't fined. \n\nI'd say buy a licence but if money is tight, buy a black & white licence (approx. £40). If they check, just say you've recently upgraded to colour and a cheque is in the post.

If you paid your fine, then yes, you should not have any problems.  All you did was contest the ticket, which is just a traffic violation.  By not showing up, you forfeitted your right to contest the ticket, so you just have to pay the fine.  \n\nBut if you didn't....well, then a warrant could show up for your arrest.  Hope this helps ya!

I think you'd better check with the American Embassy to be 100% sure. Police cautions are on record so don't try to hide it as it's possible you could get found out (and deported pronto).\n\nTheir website is http://www.usembassy.org.uk/cons_new/vis...\n\nFor operator assistance - Call 09042-450-100 Monday through Friday, between 8.00 am and 8:00 pm, and Saturday, between 09.00 am and 4.00 pm. Calls to this line are charged at £1.20/min from BT landlines; some mobile and network providers may charge more.

Depends if there was a film in the camera.\n\nIf you get caught for speeding in a 30 its a £60 fine and 3 points. Bummer, I got caught twice

I work in CCTV  Yes you can, although you need to be aware of the data protection act. You need to make people aware they are being recorded and by whom (sticker in the car window). They can also ask for a copy of the tape,  which is ace as you are allowed to charge up to £10 for each tape\ntry this link for a full explanation - http://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/Content/dpa1998.asp

I am not sure. I know as long as you aren't selling the material, it isn't piracy, so I can't see what the government would go after you for. I have never heard about people being arrested for watching a movie online. Just don't copy it and sell it.

If you get caught doing this without a license you could get fined. Check with the City Hall where you live.

You probably can't or if you figure out a way will probably be banned. Change cable providers.

My husband did that.  He got a ticket, didn't tell me, didn't pay it and I came home with a subpeona to court hanging on the door.  I just told him how goofy it was to not pay it and to not tell me.  He ended up having to pay extra and had his license suspended!

The fine is usually no more than a couple of hundred dollars. But that is just the beginning. If/when you do get your licence back your insurance premiums will look like the national debt. If you get into an accident while driving without a license your insurance coverage if you have any is null and void. If the accident involves personal injuries or death you could be charged with serious criminal offences.Legal fees and judgements could put you deep into debt for many years.You may well find that the most inexpensive cost of driving without a license is the fine. So don't do it again.

No. The only reason a bailiff will pay you a visit is if you didn't pay off your debt for the product(s)-such as a rented TV. Since you didn't pay it off, it dosen't belong to you outright- so you can't sign it over to a good friend. The last few words in your questin "does not belong to me" is correct. Its all contract law and you may be charged civily and/or criminaly.

If you violate the law and don't pay your fines they take it to the next level to get your attention.  No driving hopefully gets your attention.  Because if you get pulled over with a suspended license your troubles have just gotten a lot worse than a $100.00 fine.

They usually offer to drop some charges on you if you will agree to help them. If you don't comply, then they will press the charges. The other thing that could happen is they could make your life hard, depending on how bad they want the person they are asking you to set up. \nI recommend looking out for your own safety. If the person you would be setting up is dangerous, has lots of "friends", and would come after you, I would say no. \nI had a friend in a similar situation. He decided after he was released not to go along with it and all that happened was they pressed charges and he had to pay a bunch of fines. That's better than to risk his safety.

depends On which country you live ...\nbut if they find out, it became illegal

MOst likely it will be a Fine and if its a smaller town community service. \n\nMost areas do not send people to jail for that charge unless it is a repetitive offence

Driving without a license (i.e. without having passed a driving test) is a crime here in the UK but it's not altogether heinous.\n\nThere must be something you can do. Why not check with the UK consulate nearest to you. Take heart - we let Mike Tyson in and he's a convicted rapist!
