They don't detect 'licences". What they do detect is a running TV
(ISTR they look for the local oscillator or other stray EMF) and then
check whether the location has a licence

"What we'll do if we catch you" scare-you-s***less tone here

I think the 'fleet of detector vans' is something of a myth though
