Re: TV Detector Vans
Only one, and it was in the early 80s when they were doing a licence purge in the area. it looked really ancient.
I read in a newspaper that these days they don't have them because the gear has grown smaller with the rest of electronics and the inspectors have hand held TV detectors.
They may have just about worked, but I'm sure most enforcement is down to paper work, psychology and people confessing. I'm not sure that they ever successfully prosecuted anyone on the basis of detector van evidence alone.
