Watch out though, the offence is WATCHING a TV without a licence.You don't need to be the householder.
So if, say, a girl of 16 is babysitting at her mum's friend's house for a spot of pocket money and the people come round to check, SHE is the one caught watching the box if the house owners don't have a licence so SHE will be prosecuted.
I worked at the courts a couple of years ago and this exact thing happened. Poor girl was fined several hundred nicker and costs and was distraught.
No question of her being dealt with in the juvenile court, either, although I'd have thought that was her right.
