From Wikipedia:
Operation Repo is an American television program where a fictional repossession team from the San Fernando Valley in California re-enact the repossession ofvehicles for finance companies.
Although as a channel, truTV is described as presenting "real-life stories told from an exciting and dramatic first-person perspective"[1], OperationRepo consists of scripted re-enactments where the team is often confronted by actors portraying debtors and police officers in the repossessions.
Some of the actions shown violate the Collateral Recovery Act of the State of California and are only for dramatic purposes. Repossession agents are prohibitedfrom breaching the peace[2] (ie: fighting and wresting with debtors). However, some of the actors on the team were repossession agents in real life.[3]
That's lame. I could always tell it was mad scripted.
