    I mean you hear of people been thrown into prison for not having dog licences or tv licences
    I don't think that's ever happened.

    People have more likely been told to purchase a licence and/or pay a fine and failed to do so. They've been jailed for contempt of court most likely.

    Jail in default of paying a fine most likely.

    The social stigma of not paying is enough punishment.

    That ad campaign is definitely the bigger crime.

    I liked the ad where the chap was trying to pay by serenading the licence invoice. For some reason, it was a radio ad and on a station that manages to pay it's own way (FM104). Conflicting messages.
