Varies state by state. But the common theme is once the repo guy is in control, i.e. behind the wheel or has a tow hook ON THE VEHICLE, one cannot stop the repo.
Most jurisdictions consider this a 'civil problem' until one party assaults or makes threat of harm to the other.
This applies to both sides.
Some states allow a marshal or constable to standby to keep the peace for a court ordered repo.
In that situation, any attempt to resist will cause that person to be a guest in the Graybar Hotel.
Again, CHECK your states laws and regulations.
It depends on the reasons the car was repossessed and what the local laws are. If the car is being held as evidence or to be processed for evidence, it can be held as long as it is needed.

Your car was probably repossessed by the lender who owns the car until you pay for it. Call your lender and they will be able to tell you how to locate your repossessed car.
The title is only released when the debt or loan is paid in full. If you want the lender to pick up the car, I'm guessing that you can't or don't want to make the payments. The lender can refuse to pick up the car, but, if the debt remains unpaid, they will probably have the car repossessed which will negatively affect your credit rating.
