If the repossessor has a written assignment from the lienholder to repossess the vehicle for nonpayment, 9 out of 10 times, the police will allow the repossessor to take the vehicle.
No, Use of a Police Officer or Police involvement in self-help repossession introduces the state into a civil matter and provides the foundation for a wrongful repossession suit against the Secured Party, the repossession agent, the police officer and the police department.The authority to use Self-Help repossession is granted in the UCC 9-609 and Comment 3 of 9-609 specifically states "This section does not authorize a Secured Party who repossesses without judicial process to utilize the assistance of a law enforcement officer."Simply put if you want to use a police office to assist in a repossession you better go to court and obtain a Writ of Replevin/Sequestrian first.

What can police do if an unlawful repo is reported to them?
An unlawful repo is a theft. Hence it would be handled as such. But most repo companies have the documentation to show they have the right, whether you feel so or not, to take possession of the vehicle. In fact, in most jurisdicitions they advise the police of it before, or right after, attempting the repo. What good would an unlawful repo do someone...they couldn't get title?
