"Few creatures of the night have captured our imagination like vampires.
What explains our enduring fascination with vampires? Is it the overtones of sexual lust, power, control? Or is it a fascination with the immortality of the undead?"
Feel free to post any vampire-related content here. I'll be posting various vampire media I enjoy just as a way of kickstarting this community but don't let that stop you from posting something else. I just wanted a place to discuss vampire movies, books, games, etc.

No, as a vampire still needs to be invited into the home. A judge can make the sun assaulting officers with death rays illegal but theres nothing they can change about nature.
I disagree. The most governments can straight up kick you out of your home, so it seems to me the cosmic laws of the universe that govern whether a vampire has been invited in would recognize the warrant as an invitation by the judge into the home.
So in essence, all a Vampire would need is someone with the authority to let them into anyone's home. I wonder how one would define that authority?
Ooh, what if the judge is the Vampire!
Under this philosophy; citizens residing within states that have the castle doctrine would legally be protected from vampires while in their motor vehicles?
What is a castle doctrine?
Motor vehicles? Castle doctrine is about overriding the usual limitations (around what's reasonable use of force) on the right to self defence if you're in your home. Cars don't come into it.
Some places also extend the same protections that castle law provides to your home to your car, but that's separate from castle doctrine itself.
I didn't realize the car bit was separate, I assumed it was the difference between stand your ground and castle doctrine.
Yeah true "stand your ground" is anywhere, or at least anywhere public. Not sure if it applies in private spaces that aren't your own.
But couldn't the law be written so that a warrant once seen by the home owner must legally be considered a mandatory invitation, making the cop legally allowed to enter the home?
A, this is why magic isnβt real
B, the law can say whatever the fuck it wants it still canβt bend reality. More likely and much simpler, the vampire cop brings a non vampire friend who beats you until you βwillinglyβ invite them both in and they plant drugs all throughout your house.
just because they legally have to doesn't mean they physically have to though they could still not invite you in
Invited in by who though? You might say the owner, but then that means that kids or tenants don't count. So it might be "anyone with authority to do so", which would include judges following the prescribed process...
It could also just be "anyone lawfully inside already", which would allow the owner, kids, tenants, or even guests, but not a judge.
I meant: the warrant would equal an invitation to enter one's home, an invitation decided by the judge to which, as a law abiding citizen, the place owner would be forced to comply with.
