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?

It will be reported stolen.
Yes, a repo man is not a police officer. He does not have to abide by police guide lines.
1/3 is reported to the police.
It gets reported stolen.
No.
If the repo agent can demonstrate that he has lawful claim to take the car then the Police Officer cannot prevent him.
An officer can be called to keep the peace. Otherwise, a repo is a civil issue.
It depends on the locality. In Tennessee, no. A finance company can repo a car at any time if the payment is past due. In some states, it requires a court order and police officer sometimes accompanies the repo agent to the location.
The only way someone can be arrested for driving a car when the bank wants to repo it is if it is reported stolen. The bank must report repo action to police or court before this can call stolen. Most bank will report to police or court for repo action. This will let police know that it not stolen by repo. Most bank do not want to report to police or court. It involame alot of money (impound cost by police, towing fee with police, court cost, filing fee, court fee, etc). Bank hire repro is cheaper then report to police or court. I am not sure what the complication would be if you were trying to register it again after a couple of years though. But from my experience, do not park the vehicle anywhere near your house where iti can be seen. Repomen are always on the hunt, and if they see your car at anytime, then they are goign to be quick to try and get it.
Repos are reported by the LENDER to the CRA.
