Can a New Jersey constable repo your car?

A New Jersey constable would have to call a police officer in order to have your vehicle impounded. State agencies don't repossess - creditors do that, and hire private companies to carry out the repossession. Impound is your vehicle being confiscated for being in legal violation. Repossession is the lien holder (the actual owner of the vehicle) claiming their property back after the finance agreement has been breeched.

How do repossession agents work?

First, repossesstion agents must be licensed and have a search warrant for whatever they want to repossess, but they are not police officers. If someone does not pay bills/taxes on any private property, they simply follow these steps: 1. let the owners know who they are and what they're doing and why 2. repossess what they were there to get 3. file a notice to the local/state police

Are they allowed to call the police to repossess a motocycle from a close garage?

Depends on jurisdiction but generally the answer is NO. It is unlawful for any repossession agent to enter closed or gated private property without permission The purchase of most vehicles are covered under civil contracts between the buyer and seller and therefore repossession falls under civil law in which a ruling to repossess a vehicle must be obtained from a court after a ruling in the favor of the seller. Still gated property or closed door property cannot be lawfully entered without permission and in some jurisdictions disregard for this by a repossession agent can be considered home invasion in which lethal force could be used against. Sellers however can and do sue. Police can only assist in protective measures for repossessions that occur on public property or private property in which permission is granted .


Is it illegal to have a vehicle towed without warning in California?

If the vehicle is illegally parked the police do not need your permission to tow it. The owner of private property can request a vehicle be towed if the vehicle is not authorized to park on the private property. There are other reasons in various jurisdictions for which a vehicle may be legally towed without notice to the owner.
