Owlbear Camus posted:Lol i looked it up and you do and it's funnier than i expected. They have special "TV Detector Vans" which drive around looking for houses that emit radio signals generated by TVs but don't have a licensee, said equipment is the type of stuff spy agencies spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on to use for stealing secrets (called a TEMPEST attack, basically they tune into the emissions from a computer monitor and watch what's going on) or counter-spying (doing the same but to a suspected spy) but in this case applied to catch those dangerous persons destroying the moral fiber of society and funding terrorism: illegal Doctor Who viewers.

If the detector vans ever existed, they were scrapped a decade or two back. CRTs put out powerful and distinctive radiation. LCDs are quieter and the emissions they do put out look like every other recent electronic device. I suppose with the proliferation of smart TVs, they could start WAR DRIVING for wifi signals, but that’s not using TEMPEST techniques. I don’t believe the detector vans were ever in wide use. Make one as a prop to give the people the idea that it’s possible and let intimidation do the rest. Like the polygraph machine, it’s more effective in adding pressure to an interrogation than it is as a technical instrument. Platystemon fucked around with this message at 11:00 on Dec 19, 2019 |

I can't find it now, but I'm sure some I remember a journalist doing some digging into BBC budgets and discovering that there was never any money that went to detector vans, just the ad campaign so they'd probably never existed.

The "detector van" is just a guy with a list of addresses that don't pay a tv license.

Platystemon posted:If the detector vans ever existed, they were scrapped a decade or two back. TEMPEST can be done against LCD screens it's just far more expensive. Against CRTs it's like a couple hundred dollars of equipment, with LCDs it's thousands to $CIABUCKS, though I've read you can do it with some of the lower-cost SDR equipment now. Jabor posted:The "detector van" is just a guy with a list of addresses that don't pay a tv license. Pretty much. If you were even going to do it legitimately you could just send somebody with the list walking through a neighborhood on a summer evening and look for reflected screen flicker or listen through open windows.

My country converted the tv licence fee into a small tax increase. People complained for exactly 15 minutes and it hasn't been mentioned since. It's great.

I love the fact that rocket launchers show up at American gun buy back events, but London is all "We found a rusty butter knife in the bushes and we rolled out the tactical squad to take care of it."

I think video games have made people forget that 'rocket launchers' are almost always single-use. Oddly/fittingly enough Metal Gear gets it right. (and just gives you an endless supply of single-use rocket launchers)

Gun people need to stop being like "Why don't we ban cars too?" We can't ban cars because we need cars to get to locations and transport our goods. That should be really obvious. Its a really really bad comparison because guns aren't as important to people's daily lives.

I carried a bow and arrows on public transit in semitransparent bag several times, virtually every single modern recurve can be disassembled into 3 smallish pieces without tools. Most of those knives don't look so great though. They clearly aren't tools or sports equipment, just somewhat dangerous toys for angsty teenagers and mugging implements.
