Payment of a loan is usually a civil matter. Civil law does not usually involve the police or "arrests" unless the matter is before a court and a judge orders it.

Those who call provided it is a police matter & not civil.
No. It is a criminal matter and should be reported to the police.
Generally not. Visitation is a civil matter, not a criminal matter and police have little authority or responsibility in any civil matter. To enforce your visitation rights, you will probably need to consult a private attorney. Most departments won't even touch a visitation matter unless the child is endangered (and there must be evidence). you will need to contact an attorney to get anything else done.
Most police do not investigate civil matters. Police only investigate criminal matters. If you are involved in a civil matter, such as an eviction or a divorce, you must handle it yourself or hire an attorney.Additional: MANY counties in Florida are "policed" (i.e.: patrolled) by deputies of the County Sheriff's Office. Although they are primarily responsible for handling criminal matters, the Sheriff's Office can handle civil complaints and enforce orders of the Civil Court, something which, as correctly noted above, "police" departments cannot.
Any person can offer to mediate a civil dispute, but it is unlikely that they have the time or experience. This may be forbidden by department policy.
You won't be arrested and the police won't come after you it is a civil matter not criminal. You may be right, you won't be arrested and the police won't come after you but if it's a Felony in California and Florida to hide a vehicle from repossession, how is that a civil matter? Sounds criminal to me but nobody will enforce it.
No! that is a civil matter and the police can not enforce civil law, you must settle it in a court. The police, however, can stand by to keep the peace if the other party is willing to let you remove the property.
NO !!!!It is a civil matter the police will not get involved.
No, Police arrest people for CRIMINAL offenses or on the orders of a Judge. Failing to meet a contractual obligation (stopping payment) is, in most countries, not a criminal offense. It is a CIVIL matter. If you stop payment (for no valid reason) there will however be consequences, the company will come after you to reposes the car and if they take you to CIVIL court over your failure to abide by your contract, they can apply to seize your money or goods and your credit rating will be ruined.
Yes they can, however, this depends on the nature of the court order. If the court order is a civil judgement (small claims lawsuit) then yes this is a civil matter. However, if the order specifies something to the nature of: Police shall provide security the named plaintiff, when she/he on such and such dates, arrives at such and such place to remove such and such property. Then no, the Police cannot refuse to enforce the order since doing so would violate the order. Child Support and Civil Debts, are civil matters and outside the jurisdiction of Law Enforcement. Where as if the Police are listed in an order or this is a court ordered custody exchange and a parent kidnaps a child beforehand, or an order for safety or protection then the Police are required to enforce it.
