I suspect the issue is partly caused by outsourcing the enforcement to private contractors and setting targets!

So they aren't even government employee. It's just some random person trespassing on your property.

I assume, of course, that the burden of proving you don't have a TV falls on the citizen and not these government-paid contractors.
