All you really do is make things more difficult for yourself, but that in itself isn't. However, if you tell a repossession agent that you don't know where the car is, then the repo agent, acting as an agent for the finance company (who are the legitimate owners of the vehicle) may file a missing property or even stolen vehicle report, then your troubles increase from that point.
I would discourage you from trying this, but, if you're going to, just don't say anything at all to the repossession agents. They can't compel you to talk to them.
No. However in most states it is a felony for someone to conceal a vehicle to prohibit a lender from repossesing it.

Not impossible, but difficult. Most states dont regulate background checks, BUT, insurance cos. DO. Liability for the ins. co.
A repo agent in Georgia has the same rights to carry as any other civilian.
If the repo agent can demonstrate that he has lawful claim to take the car then the Police Officer cannot prevent him.
Vehicles in Louisiana may only be repossessed by vol repo. That is the holder of the car must voluntarily release the vehicle. Repo agents in Louisiana may not engage in self help repossession.
no
No. A repo agent is only permitted to move and enter the vehicle which they have an order for repossession on.
Only if they do not have the correct paperwork from the finance company whom has the right to repo the vehicle.
That act in itself isn't a crime. However, if you tell a repo agent you don't know where the car is, then the repo agent will report the car stolen on behalf of the finance company (the rightful owner of the car).
The repossession agent is not a law enforcement agent, and has no such authority.
