Local law enforcement must be notified within 1 hour before or after the repossession of a motor vehicle to ensure compliance with legal regulations and to maintain safety during the repossession process. This requirement helps prevent misunderstandings or conflicts that might arise during the repossession, which can sometimes involve confrontational situations or disputes over ownership. By informing law enforcement, they can be aware of the situation and provide assistance if necessary, ensuring that the repossession is conducted legally and safely. This notification also helps to avoid unnecessary police involvement that could occur if a repossession is perceived as suspicious or unlawful by the community.
