You need to consult a lawyer where you live since it varies regionally. However, with a warrant a vehicle can be repossessed legally, even if trespassing is necessary to do so.

Does a repo man have the right to come on private property?
No. If they do, they are trespassing and you can have them arrested.
Can the guards keep repo men out of a set of apartment?
If it is privately owned property and stipulates no trespassing (like a gated community or such) then yes. Unless the Repo men have a court order or similar legal document. Then no, the guards cannot, and are obliged by law to assist the repo men.
Can a repo man ram your vehicle while you are still in it?
No. You can not be pulled over or forced out of your vehicle during a repossession. It has to, by law, be accomplished "peacably."
Can a repo man enter your garage without permission to get a vechicle in Georgia?
NO, THAT IS TRESPASSING IN ANY STATE
Is it trespassing if you are a passenger in the back seat in a vehicle that turned into a private non-gated neighborhood to turn around?
No. Trespass is an intentional tort. A passenger has no control over the vehicle, and therefore cannot intend to enter the property.
Under Texas Law are you risking a stolen vehicle charge by running from the repo man and avoiding the bank?
No, its a Civil matter. Law Enforcement deals in Criminal Law, not Civil Law.
When the tow truck driver backed into your backyard with out your consent was he trespassing to repo my car?
Nope. It's not your car - it's the lienholder's car. And the law permits the lienholder to recover their property when the conditions of the lien are not met.
What do you do when repo man is here?
Repo agents aren’t allowed to ”break the peace”. By simply confronting or sitting inside your vehicle, they will be unable to tow. This doesn’t mean law enforcement won’t be called in which case you may possibly have to turn over the car, usually depending on your states laws.
Can a repo company repo a car without giving wrighten notice of the repo?
Laws vary by state, but, generally, yes. They'll notify the law enforcement agency with jurisdiction in the area where they're repossessing the vehicle from, and the law enforcement agency will typically give notification of the repossession if the vehicle is reported stolen. However, most people with vehicles up for repossession are aware of it, and can put two and two together.
Can you prosecute a repo man for trespassing on commercial private property to repo a auto?
Only a prosecuter can prosectute. It is legal to repo a car from anywhere as long as they dont "breach the peace" to get to it. That is, they cant break & enter or physically move you out of the way.
Is there a law in Alabama that prevents a repo company from making you go get your car in a far away city?
There is no specific law, and there is no need for one - the repo company has absolutely zero legal authority to compel you to do any such thing. If you informed them of where they can find the vehicle, you've done all that's required of you - getting the vehicle is the finance company's problem.
When repossessing a vehicle on private property can the repo co take the vehicle without serving some kind of paper work in North Carolina?
YES, repoing a car is NOT trespassing. They are there for a lawful reason. IF you ask for paperwork, it would be polite for a recovery agent to show you the papework. Unfortunately, FEDERAL privacy laws PROHIBIT showing personal info(repo paperwork) to anyone other than the debtor.
