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
I see you too have played in a World of Darkness game. 😜
We are all playing in a World of Darkness game on this glorious day.
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.
similar question.
do vampires need visas to enter a country?
can they cross borders freely?
if you surround the earth in a megastructure shaped like a house do all vampires on earth instantly die?
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.
It would be such a Dresden type loophole to use that with the cliche of "home is wherever you are", and have someone believe that strongly enough to make the other person a living vampire repellent.
Upon further consideration and two drinks, I deand Hollywood use this as the twist ending to give Blade the love interest they're going to force in no matter what in the reboot.
Then in the sequel he sells out and gets a fancy new ~~Batcave~~ Crypt(?) funeded by some asshole who turns out to be the villain.
And Blade's conviction falters and it breaks her protection just long enough to get her tragically killed, setting up therevenge plot for the third movie.
God wqhy am I not a screenwriter. It's not good, but it would sell.
Okay so then in Blade 3 its bsically Blade goign John Wick on some vampires until he finds out the vamp who killed his love is now part of a cult tying to smmon a demon.Then at the climax of the movie he has to choose betoween getting his revenge and stopping the summoning. and Blade is too driven by fury and he goes for revenge. So cliffhanger ending, the demon pops out of a portal. folloed by...
JOHN CONSTANTINE!
THAT'S RIGHT BIGHTCHES, BLADE 4 IS A BACKDOOR MARVEL/DC CROSSOVER!
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.
Well by that logic, if you found a vampire's lair /tomb while they slept, and then three a tent over it, wouldn't that cause them to die?
I'm def of the opinion its all about entering a building (not necessarily about being in one).
wait
is property lines the same as a house?
can you sublet a room on your house and hide there?
can you surround a vampire with houses and he cannot escape?
Hey, I'm an amateur vampirologist. Feel free to tell me to go F myself if you disagree, but here are my thoughts.
In most media I've seen it's not the property line, it's specifically the house.
Subletting leads to an interesting conundrum that I'll have to explore more but on its face I think it checks out. I also think it's very silly and would love to see a work that explored this.
As I understand it, you'd have to build them pretty close together so it couldn't escape, especially if it can turn into mist or fly, but theoretically I think that would work too if you could build fast enough.
i won't tell you to fuck yourselves, I'll do it myself ..
next questions
a cave can be a house, can a vampire enter a uninhabited cave, but if next day someone moves in, will the vampire be unable to enter?
if a vampire inherits a house, no one formally invited him in, could he enter, as he is the legal owner and therefore only need his invitation?
do tents count as housing? what about this:
could you wear a tent like that and vampires would be unable to bite you?
Imagine a vampire getting frustrated with a realtor because this is the fourth time they've arrived at a house they're interested in to do a walkthrough but the owners aren't home and the realtor, as someone who doesn't have ties to the memories created in that home, can't invite him in.
This also has fascinating implications for house flippers. If you only live there while working on it, have you not amassed enough "home power" to keep vampires out? Does the power of your previous home follow you to a new address if it's mostly the same decor?
We could then use vampires to determine who owns a house, if a house is abandoned for a while and there are squatters.
the squaters and legal owner invite vampires in, if the legal owner vampire cant, he looses the right to the house, if the squatter's vamp cant get in, they get evicted.
He can come in. I eat garlic regularly 😆
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.
I actually think you've just described the current political climate in the US.
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.
Permission isn’t an invitation. They need to be invited in, not have permission to enter.
Can a vampire not break and enter? Would an invitation work if they were out of town and needed the vampire to cat sit for a weekend? Does you being in the house have an effect on the invitation or it deed based? How are renters handled? So many questions!
If you’re like me, you’re frustrated with vampire law. Here at Vampire Law, we help to keep your invitations clear and any misunderstandings cleared up.
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.
A job doesn't change or define what you are. A vampire would not be able to enter.
Police don't typically execute search warrants alone. If I knew that specific policeman was a vampire I would address his partner(s) individually and invite them in, but I would not invite the vampire. Explaining to them why he was staying outside would be his problem.
In this same vein, if a vamp-cop's partner entered the home, then invited the vamp-cop in, would the vamp-cop be able to enter then?
Only the people living there can invite a vampire in.
But what if I trust the vampire cop more than the cop? At least the vampire cop admits he's a bloodsucker.
