Only if you say "Come back with a warrant!"

[–] Enjoyer_of_Games@hexbear.net 23 points 1 month ago

DON'T use closed questions

"do you have a warrant?"

DO use vampire inclusive language

"come back with a warrant!"

Vampires do not heed the laws of humanity. Their ability to enter your home is solely based around your consent—or more specifically in this case, what your core beliefs are.

If you are a bootlicker who thinks cops are cool and good, yes, that will allow the vampire cop to enter your home. If you believe that the warrant grants them permission to enter your home, then they can.

If you are a comrade who knows that the police state is an oppressive tool of capital that must be resisted at every opportunity, a vampire cop may not enter—warrant or not. That warrant means nothing to you, so you implicitly do not give your consent.

If believing in a cross can imbue one with power, believing in THE STRENGTH OF THE WORKERS OF THE WORLD will imbue workers with power, too. This is canon vampire stuff.

I never thought of the Vampire as a power fulfillment fantasy of the capitalist bloodsucker but now it makes so much sense...

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

Warrant is kinda like if I invite them to your house so it shouldn't work

[–] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's not actually vampires who need an invitation, it's autistic people (we will never know you want us there otherwise)

[–] ThermonuclearEgg@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago

Autistic vampires confirmed?

I spent a good 10 minutes failing to come up with a cop vampire pun but I'm tired and loopy so I'll answer it straight.

Cop is a known vampire? --> laws for warrants include wording giving temporary transfer of ownership to judge.

Cop is secret vampire --> they gotta fool you with a giant check from publishers clearinghouse

[–] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 12 points 1 month ago

Inviting yourself doesn't count

[–] Bureaucrat@hexbear.net 11 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

Not unless you made the warrant. They are legally allowed to, but that's not what is keeping them outside.
If you've got a doormat that says "welcome" you're fucked though

[–] Hestia@hexbear.net 11 points 1 month ago

Good thing my doormat says "fuck off"

[–] CthulhusIntern@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago

But you're only welcoming them to your porch, not the inside of your house.

[–] Sulvor@hexbear.net 9 points 1 month ago

No, I have a crossbow that fires stakes

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 9 points 1 month ago

Sure but if you have garlic or whatever you can repel them

[–] HiImThomasPynchon@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago

No, you still have to invite Nick Knight into your house

[–] infuziSporg@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago

If you ask them if they're a vampire, they have to tell you.

If they're a cop, you can repel them with brightness resembling daylight.
