Better education would be about making payments on time and avoiding repo all together.
^^^ Exactly. If you have skipped making so many car payments that your car is in danger of being repossessed, I'm not sure why anyone should have sympathy?
If you have any concerns about the constitutionality of this, only the government is constrained by the Constitution. A private party can do anything you give them the right to do in the fine print of your contract. I bet this is in there.
There are cameras that read the plates. They read reflective material. They work well at night. Ever wonder why your plates have small sparkle material in them? This is one reason for that.
Cars drive past your house or apartment complex lots late at night, to record this info.
Well, guess I learned something. That license plates have reflective coatings to enable repo company cameras to read them. Got it.
The next time I get a car I decide not to pay for I'll be sure to park it in the garage after dark.

No, it's not. It's a post on how to cheat your creditors out of the property that is rightfully theirs. If you're so far behind on your payments they are coming to repo (you usually have to be 3 or months behind), then you need to give the vehicle back and work on righting your financial situation. Hopefully, it will be a lesson, don't buy things you can't really afford.

LOL
Obviously, in 1983 when Michigan added reflective paint to license plate numbers, it was for the computers and digital cameras on tow trucks to read and remotely access a public database of license plates referenced to lien holder...
Or maybe the reflective paint was added so that police officers could read them at night? I don't know, that sounds too stupid to be true. It's got to be the digital cameras
Just read the thread title, but the easiest way to avoid having your car repoed .. is to make your payments as promised.
