Does UK still have those vans that drive around, looking for unlicensed TVs?

If so, could one of those be repurposed? I suspect they have fairly wideband scanners.

I remember this being a common fear in the UK during the 90s. I cannot report on whether such vans actually existed.

Well, you're in luck! I can report on them existing.

I remember seeing them, when I lived in London, in the 1970s.
