California Repossession Law Blog

Adam Levitan, a blogger on Creditslips.org, writes about a reality series on TruTV, available on the Internet, called Operation Repo. They show clips of brawny repossessors on assignment in the San Fernando valley.

Levitan writes that he is sure they only show the more dramatic repos on TV, but was struck by was how often the repos "breach the peace." People are routinely getting pepper-sprayed or shoved or put into headlocks as they try to stop the repo actions. Occasionally someone pulls a gun on the repo men, and they back off.
