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.

[–] otacon239@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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.

Express, verbal consent if there is a person in the house. No one in the house = no need to grant permission.

I don't know about that. So, if they ask, "can I come in?" and you say, "Yes." then they still can't come in?

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.

While birth is certainly a state of duress for everyone involved, the term would have extreme difficulty in just about any court (glances at the current state of US judicial system uh. mostly.) — though I get where you're coming from and don't entirely disagree.

What a world it would be if those cosplaying porklets burst into flames simply by acting outside the Rules As Written. 🤩🥓🔥🤣 ACAB.

That would be pretty good.

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (2 children)

If you’ve voted, you’ve essentially agreed to the ToS

Participated in democracy? Devoured by vampires, lmao

I don't think voting implies content. People continue to consent with some laws out of moral duty others because they like life outside of a cell.

What if im an illegalist who doesnt pay taxes and reinforces my home's exterior?

[–] ooterness@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I am not a vampire lawyer, but vampire courts do tend to side with the vampire when these types of questions come up after the fact.

Courts are just cosplayers. Probably not even real vampires.

The protection is usually framed under the natural right to be safe at home, it has nothing to do with legal entitlements. i.e. someone considering a dwelling home makes it safe, not an arbitrary paper.

natural right to be safe at home

So nobody who lives under a state is protected?
