WARNING!

This vehicle is not subject to lawful recovery by any lienholder.

STOP!

NOTICE: Neither Ford nor any other lienholder has any valid security agreement for this vehicle (see authenticated copy with real signature below). This vehicle is subject to pending civil litigation between Robert Neale and Ford Credit. No due process, agreement or judgment has been reached or rendered. DO NOT RECOVER without legal assistance. You will be held liable.

Any attempt to trespass or recover this vehicle without the following verified documentation or due process is without the owners (Robert Neale) consent constitutes a breach of peace and theft. No owner consent is given or presumed. Prior to any lawful recovery attempt the following shall be met.

Pursuant to the FL statutes, a lawful recovery of any vehicle requires a minimum of the following:

1. The recovery company must have a valid class RR license to pick up a vehicle.

Florida Statute Section 493.6401(2) A Class "R" license covers the main recovery agency location under subsection (1), while a Class "RR" license is specifically required for each branch office operating under subsection (2). Verifiable evidence is required at the recovery.

2. The driver must possess, on his person, in his name, a Class “E” Florida license.

Florida Statute Section 493.6401(4) and Section 493.6111 Subsection (4) mandate the individual performing recovery services hold a Class "E" license, and operational rules under Chapter 493 require it to be carried on their person.

3. A verifiable work order from the lienholder “in hand”.

Florida Statute Section 493.6118(1)(z)4. Disciplinary grounds outline that selling or handling recovered property without "written authorization from the legal owner or the mortgagee thereof" is unlawful, necessitating a valid work order/assignment in hand.

4.A copy of the lienholder's security agreement (contract) “in hand”.

Florida Statute Section 679.609(1)-(2) in conjunction with Chapter 493 agency definitions.

Because a recovery agent only derives the legal right to seize property as an agent of the secured party exercising rights under the security agreement, proof of default/the security agreement must back the assignment.

NOTICE: Ford Credit nor any other lienholder has a valid security agreement for this vehicle (see authenticated copy with real signature below). This vehicle is subject to pending civil litigation between Robert Neale and Ford Credit. No due process, agreement or judgment has been reached or rendered.

5. Must not breach the peace.

Florida Statute Section 679.609(2)(b)

States that a secured party or its agent may proceed to take possession without judicial process only "if it proceeds without breach of the peace".

BREACH OF PEACE: Under Florida’s implementation of the Uniform Commercial Code (specifically Florida Statute Section 679.609) and associated Florida case law, the term "breach of the peace" is not explicitly defined line-by-line within the text of the statute itself. Instead, Florida courts rely on common law principles and established legal boundaries to define what constitutes a breach of the peace during repossessions.

In the context of vehicle recovery and commercial law, a breach of the peace occurs when a repossession agent's actions create a potential for public disorder, incite violence, or override the explicit objections of the debtor. 

Key actions and legal standards that constitute a "breach of the peace" under Florida law include:

• Proceeding Over Verbal Objection: If a debtor (or someone acting on their behalf) is present and explicitly objects to the repossession or tells the agent to stop, continuing with the seizure of the vehicle constitutes a breach of the peace. The agent must stop and pursue judicial remedies (such as a replevin action) rather than forcing the collection.

• Physical Force, Threats, or Intimidation: Any use of physical force, scuffling, assault, battery, or verbal threats and intimidation directed toward the debtor, family members, or bystanders violates the peace. 

• Breaking and Entering / Unauthorized Entry: Entering a closed, locked, or gated environment—such as a locked garage, a fenced-in residential yard with closed gates, or a secured private building—without explicit permission is considered unlawful trespassing and a breach of the peace. Taking a vehicle parked in an open driveway or public street is generally permitted, but breaching a closed structural barrier crosses the legal line. 

• Creating a Public Disturbance: Actions that disrupt public order, create hazardous conditions, block public traffic, or provoke a crowd during the course of the recovery are classified as breaches of the peace. 

If a recovery agent commits a breach of the peace while seizing a vehicle, the repossession is deemed illegal under Florida law, stripping the secured party of their self-help privileges and exposing them to civil liability for conversion, trespass, or statutory damages .
