The Vampire Diaries universe does follow the authority of the state and they play around with it in fun ways. Like they’ll transfer the deed to a property to someone else to reset who’s allowed to enter the house. I have a hazy memory that one time someone had a house foreclosed on so they’d be able to enter. I’m not sure about warrants though.

Every time I hear someone talk about Vampire Diaries lore I get closer to watching it despite the CW ness, I love a show that plays with the details of its lore like that.

If they're respecting deeds, then by proxy they'd have to respect a warrant since both of those derive their legitimacy through the state

I think so too. Also notably to your first comment, in the vampire diaries universe the first generation of vampires were in like the 10th century, so some concept of a state, property rights, and the ability of the state to take away property rights did exist.
