(b)It is a misdemeanor for any person to obtain possession of any vehicle or any part thereof subject to a lien pursuant to the provisions of this chapter by trick, fraud, or device.
(c)It is a misdemeanor for any person claiming a lien on a vehicle to knowingly violate any provision of this chapter.
