It is illegal for anyone to threaten anyone with jail time. However, repossession drivers may as a rule warn debtors that if they do not surrender the vehicle that the potential for arrest exists. This is not a threat. Many lenders will automatically authorize the petition of replevin when a debtor refuses to cooperate. If a replevin is served on a debtor and that debtor refuse to surrender the vehicle, he is likely to be arrested, and held until he surrenders the vehicle, or a judge is satisfied with the time the debtor serves for contempt of his order.

Can repo men take your car parked at a store with a person in it?

Legally, no. This would fall under wrongful incarceration or kidnapping. The repo agent can block the vehicle in until that person gets out and then hook the unit. If the person re-enters the vehicle afterward then all bets are off. If the police are called in this situation, someone is likely to go to jail for breach of peace, and the repo agent has a legally binding notice of repossession.
