Answer to Question 1

Answer: This act provides that a peace officer of one state may enter another state in fresh pursuit to arrest an
offender who has committed a felony in the state from which he or she fled. There is no specific distance

provide that after the arrest is made, the officer must take the arrested person before a local magistrate,
without unnecessary delay, for a hearing to determine the lawfulness of the arrest.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: There is reason to believe that a crime has been committed. There is reason to believe the arrested person
