"Fresh pursuit" defined
Sec. 5. The term "fresh pursuit" as used in this chapter shall
include fresh pursuit as defined by the common law, and also the
pursuit of a person who has committed a felony or who reasonably
is suspected of having committed a felony. It shall also include the
pursuit of a person suspected of having committed a supposed
felony, though no felony actually has been committed, if there is
reasonable ground for believing that a felony has been committed.
Fresh pursuit shall not necessarily imply instant pursuit, but pursuit
without unreasonable delay.
