Hence not telling Paige without trying to get her Bitten first. The rule was probably a flat "No Telling Humans!". It's kind of like Bewitched. They live in suburbia and have mortal friends, enighbors and co-workers...all of whom they (try to) keep the witchcraft stuff a secret from.

It dawned on me that since werewolves are physiologically human to the extent that hospital staff don't notice anything unless they witness healing factor in action, werewolves could probably argue that they are a "race" and covered under things like hate crimes laws that protect against racially-motivated violence.

You're right though, they might need a special test for driving on the full moon. :-)

Yea, but Bewitched didn't have witch hunters coming and trying to kill Samantha regularly, or any other situations that law enforcement might've been useful. I don't know, it's just weird. It's another one of those situations that you can't poke at it or it'll drive you crazy
