A tow truck driver was arrested after attempting to repossess a vehicle while a family was still inside it, according to an investigation by The Drive. The arrest highlighted the legal requirement to confirm a vehicle is unoccupied before beginning any repo operation.
Operator takeaway
Arrested for repossessing a car with a family inside — walk around the vehicle and confirm it is unoccupied before every repo. This is not a suggestion, it is a legal requirement.
