No a vampire requires permission from some1 inside the house it could be any1 in the house not just the owner. A warrent give legal permission to enter but its from outside the house thus making it useless for a vampire to enter with alone.

So you need a non-vampire judge to enter the house and produce the warrant from inside, got it!

If I’m outside the house and pulling weeds and a vampire walks up and I told them to come on in and motion them in the house first can they go in?

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Why would they need to, are you anemic and lacking in blood? 🧛‍♂️

[–] outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Vampires can steal your valuables too! You don't know!

Y'all this one is simple.

Legally, yes.

Physically (for supernatural reasons), no.

[–] SoloCritical@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

This is the answer I choose to accept.

“Can I enter your home to arrest you?”

“I don’t know officer squints eyes ..can you?”

Kicks down the door with his non-vampire partner who enters first .... non-vampire steps inside the building and tells his vampire friend to come in

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

We are all playing in a World of Darkness game on this glorious day.

Legally? Yes. Physically? No.

[–] ooterness@lemmy.world 25 points 1 week ago (7 children)

Yes, you agreed to the Terms of Service (aka Social Contract). For people in the USA, that includes the 4th amendment, which explicitly allows law enforcement (living or semi-living) to enter with a warrant. Therefore you have granted permission to enter.

If they don't have a warrant, or if they messed up the paperwork somehow, then they burst into flame.

[–] async_amuro@lemmy.zip 30 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Permission isn’t an invitation. They need to be invited in, not have permission to enter.

But if you're born in the USA, you didn't agree to any ToS it was forced upon you at birth. Never chose to accept/agree to them, but obligated to follow them or face punishment.

A contract signed under duress is invalid.

No. The vampire is bound by a supernatural barrier not even the likes of Dracula can defy. Otherwise Dracula would be a judge to issue warrants for his fellow vampire officers.

similar question.

do vampires need visas to enter a country?

can they cross borders freely?

[–] bappity@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (27 children)

if you surround the earth in a megastructure shaped like a house do all vampires on earth instantly die?

[–] zell565@lemmus.org 10 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I think it's the Dresden Files mythology? But I always liked the premise that it's not the house that prevents them. It's the magic of a home. They could walk into some house a squatter is living in for a few days with no issues, but a home where people truly live make it their own, have families, memories...that's what gives the threshold power.

IIRC, even in that universe, a vampire can force it's way in, but the threshold strips it of most of its power if not invited.

I doubt that this would affect vampires at all. The rule is that they can't enter your house without being invited, not that they have to move if you build a house around them.

A job doesn't change or define what you are. A vampire would not be able to enter.

[–] fleebleneeble@reddthat.com 12 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

I think the vampire physically could enter because the warrant is basically allowing them to enter a space they otherwise would need express permission from the person that dwells there. I haven't known a cop otherwise to serve the warrant and then just stand awkwardly waiting for permission to enter afterwards. If we are to believe that vampires exist in this context and follow "traditional" rules, you best believe a vampire could be in any given profession, especially because night work is more prevalent than ever. There would certainly be a vampire cop who works at night and takes advantage of the way warrants work.

[–] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago (5 children)

Vampires are older than property law, I think the power that keeps them out comes from physically dwelling in the place. As long as they're still living there, regardless of what a judge decided, it's their home as far as a vampire is concerned. Otherwise they could just ask each other for permission to enter someone else's house. I'm trying to remember if this came up in Buffy...

I think hearth magic doesn't work that way. When you live somewhere and set up a presence, it becomes your domain. A warrant doesn't take that away from you. You need permission to travel safely into someone's domain.

[–] crawancon@lemm.ee 8 points 1 week ago

he could enter but he wouldn't without permission as his vampyrical torment exists deeper than his protect and sever police man gentle nudges.
