That is the correct answer.

It is all "in theory".

The TVLA would have to give the working details of a detector van to the
courts if they ever used such a device to obtain a warrant.

In the early days of 'TV Detection Vans' my uncle worked for the GPO/BT.

At the weekend he would earn overtime by driving the van around likely
estates. The idea was to look conspicious with the van clearly identified
with large letters. No detection was actually done but it got people
scurrying down to the P.Office on the Monday.

Was the van empty with an aerial on top and big letters on the side saying
"TV DETECTOR VAN"?


Yep, pretty much.
