So what I'm gathering here is that you do indeed have vampires inside
Nope, absolutely no vampires here, definitely none at all, no siree. No vmpires in this house.

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.

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.
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. -
Bram Stoker had a different take
Writers need to be interpreted, because it's unlikely that they actually understand what they wrote. Therefore, when employing a novel to address a problem, my interpretation is probably more important than the original work.
It's not even clear that Bram Stoker had a good understanding of the word "Dracula": https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=2467&v=BvFwqVzEsfw&feature=youtu.be

You know, maybe Vimes had a point.

Y'all this one is simple.
Legally, yes.
Physically (for supernatural reasons), no.

“Can I enter your home to arrest you?”

That's genuinely quite interesting, thank you! 🤩

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 but if building a tent around it doesn't kill them, which I agree with, it means that they would be allowed in if the domicile was formed around them without their knowing.
So by that logic, do Vampires get squatters rights?
If they get into a domicile not knowing there is an owner, then the owner arrives, are they ejected or are they allowed to stay? What if you build your house on top of the entrance to their tomb? Are they forced to ask permission to leave their tomb and thus enter your domicile?

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...
What if they are renting?

A vampire police officer would have to abide by both rules. They would need a warrant and an invite. A warrant is legal permission, but not an invite.

Then you don't have the authority to grant them entrance

No they wouldn’t tbh

It is still YOUR house bc you live and sleep and eat there

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 wonder how this would interact with, say, Manhattan's Eruv—a wire used by some Jews to demark a private space.

Ok but what if I only invite him into my shed and then keep him chained up in there?

You technically aren't evicted until you're served the notice

I don't think it's based on knowledge, I think they would be prevented from entering regardless
