But such info wouldnt tell them whether each building actually had a TV set.

Actually someone I know once made a very good point that

1) He doesnt have a Gun (Therfore he has no gun licence)
2) He doesnt have a Dog (Therfore he has no Dog licence)
3) He doesnt have a Car (Therfore he has no Driving Licence)
Nobody from officialdom has ever queried him as to why he doesnt posess any of these documents as presumably he is deemed to be innocent until proven guilty

On the other hand he is constantly getting harassed by An Post as to why he doesnt have a TV licence (including unwanted visits by "inspectors" to his house) Because seemingly when it comes to Television one is guilty until proven innocent and individual rights to privacy dont seem to be a consideration either ?
