TV police!

So if you have a tv, computer, or radio (even in your car), you need to pay the TV fee ( a few hundred euros per year). By accident i found this out, and when i asked how do they know you have a radio/tv and what if you dont use them, the answer - doesnt matter, and they WILL find you out! they have people who come round and check for your tv! if you dont let them in they come back with the police and warrant!!??

Now compare the above to passport control. I flew to Austria the other day for work and i went on the plane without showing any photo ID or passport! just a online printout/checkin.

Amazing!

  1. Yeah when I was a kid I was the TV van spotter for our road - if the van came down I would run up the road telling everyone and they'd hide their tv's - this was a hippy hangout in the 80's tho so was mostly portables - quick and easy to get rid of the evidence ;)
