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 That's why it was more of a nuisance! If a bunch of people-hunters with guns were stalking Samanthat then it really would have just taken one call to the police to get them all arrested! Her problem was that the people she was trying to keep her secret from consisted mostly of nosy neighbors, Darrin's family and people involved in his job. Not the sorts of folks you sic the cops on.

Heavily-armed hunters on the other hand? Easy! Actually, I did have to dock the Sheriff some points for not immediately realizing after the police station got shot up that the only person in town with a stockpile of fully-automatic assault rifles (illegal in civilian hands in California) was Chris Argent, a licensed arms dealer. In fact, the hunters were often racing around the Preserve (at night, which according to the sign should be closed) on ATV's and carrying weapons that were illegal under CA law. Saying that they were "hunting" wouldn't have helped much (wrong weapons, probably wrong season and no permits).
