Craig, CO asked in Domestic Violence and Municipal Law for Colorado

Q: Can the cops have someones vehicles towed from my property if I have a restraining order agent them?

The restraining order was from domestic violence had a portection order and it was a lot of vehicles and a camper (all his belongings were in it) I was also being told by code enforcement that they (20 some vehicles) needed to be removed or they were going to condem my property for it being unsafe, half were junk and some were tagged but didn't even run. Cops did not want him near me or property because it was his 5th domestic violence charge and he couldnt do a stand by for them all in the time they give u or send someone over to haul them off cause of 3rd party contact. My exfiancee says that was illegal and he is going to sue because the cops had his camper and vehicles the ones in his name towed to the tow yard the rest were sent to scrap. I was in possession of all the tittles at time for everything that had a tittle not him.

A: If the vehicle is his, then he has a right to it. Typically there should be some coordination from someone with regards to entry onto your property, if you own the property, to remove the vehicle.
