When a motorcyclist is stopped by police in a "hot pursuit" vehicle, can the police use the phrase "police pursuit" doctrine?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Flores, 540 F.2d 432 (9th Cir. 1976):
Moreover, when the circumstances warrant an entry in "hot pursuit" the fact that the entry is accompanied by an announcement of authority does not preclude the application of the "hot pursuit" doctrine. In United States v. Cisneros, 448 F.2d 298 (9th Cir. 1971), appellant was convicted of importation and sale of heroin.
