Does anyone know anyone who has ever been prosecuted for not having a TV licence?

Yes.

Yes, years ago though.

From May last year but im astounded at such a high figure anyway 😱

Figures released last year showed that women made up 76% of the 52,376 people convicted in 2020 over TV licence evasion.

It's perfectly safe as long as you just don't use BBC or live TV.
There's not really any need for either with the streaming platforms available nowadays.
