Well actually you can't perform a repo in front of law enforcement unless you have a court order. So basically if cops show up its a breach of peace and all repossession activities must end.

Crazy, never knew that and wondered why they never call the police and figured most those repo shows are fake and fight for the camera and that is why. Stupid though if it is a repo and they are not paying their bills you would think the police should help....at least to stop crazy people thinking their car is being stolen...the car they don't pay on. Sucks, always figured cops would show up and be like "he has the proper paperwork so hand over the keys....period". Again the law confuses me so bad....repo has to end...wow.Originally Posted by #1Townie
The double standard is the problem for sure and what bothers most people about it! As I said before more people see cops to fear than the "peace officer" they were once. I know if I get a cop behind me the first thing is my stomach drops even when I know I have done nothing wrong. Wish it was opposite for me and be like "nice I feel safe now that this cop is behind me".
Don't even get me started on the "War on Drugs"...omg, what a crappy plan! So now we have our prison facilities packed with drug offenses because a "minimum sentence" was assigned for war on drugs. We get first offense people who get 20+ years for marijuana, but the rapist and murder can get out in 7 years if they act good. So the person who was an addict and basically is only hurting themselves (in general) gets 3 times the sentence than raping someone! I mean did the law think that by making tougher penalties it was going to stop drugs; no way, just made for a clogged prison facility where people get out early because there is no room...no to mention all the money taxpayers spend on the prison system. Going with what you say though, war on drugs has turned this into a lot of "enforce the law" rather than realize drugs are a huge problem and putting them in prison doesn't seem to be solving the problem. Other countries deal with addicts different and seems to work better; not saying a addict should be felt sorry for, but if anyone has ever known one you can see it is a sickness that takes over them and most can't stop on their own and jail does little to help.

No way bro. I wouldn't have it that way. That is a violation of a persons due process. Banks make mistakes. Its also why I used respect. A person doesn't have to open a garage door and give up the keys.
And yes those shows are fake. They also created a level of stress on debtor's that made the job even harder. Sitting around waiting for the angry repo guy.
But yeah at the end of the day I couldn't count on leos. It was just me and who I was with. No one else. No other help. It only worked by being able to calm people down and create a chance for negotiations.
Just seems odd as you would think those are the ones you would want help from...again goes to show that maybe they do not always help and you can do it better yourself using non-violent techniques you learned through the years. I'd think police officers would have figured that out by now too....of course some have, but others will always be the "hothead" cops that use their power. Amazing, because I feel a repo job is a very dangerous position and you have shown you do it better without violence or a gun.
Yeah those shows are dumb. I seen that "South Beach Towing" one and no doubt that is 100% fake. I saw some repo black lady just hitting some guy over the head with a pipe just to get the repo. I was like oh yes, talk about a person looking for a lawsuit and I'd think a repo person hitting a person over the head would be a great reason to sue. So yeah I can see how it can make your job harder for sure....freakin reality tv
I like the one where that same large black lady gets thrown/pushed out of a parking garage on the second or third floor.Just seems odd as you would think those are the ones you would want help from...again goes to show that maybe they do not always help and you can do it better yourself using non-violent techniques you learned through the years.
