Hot pursuit

Question

Hot pursuit

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hot pursuit is an exception to the warrant requirement that allows law enforcement agents to pursue a suspect into a dwelling and conduct a search without a warrant if they have probable cause to believe that the suspect is likely to be found inside. This includes searching areas within the dwelling where the suspect may be hiding or attempting to evade the police. This exception is based on the need to apprehend suspects quickly before they can harm others or escape from custody. Therefore, choice B is the correct answer as it allows searches within dwellings where the suspect is likely to be found.  A, C, and D are incorrect as they are not consistent with the hot pursuit rule.
