§ 154. Pursuit by military forces of another state
Any military forces or organization, unit, or detachment thereof, of another state
who are in fresh pursuit of insurrectionists, saboteurs, enemies, or enemy forces
may continue such pursuit into this State until the military or police forces of this
State or the forces of the United States have had a reasonable opportunity to take
up the pursuit or to apprehend or capture such persons and are hereby authorized to
arrest or capture such persons within this State while in fresh pursuit. Any such
person who shall be captured or arrested by the military forces of such other state
while in this State shall without unnecessary delay be surrendered to the military
or police forces of this State to be dealt with according to law. This section shall
not be construed so as to make unlawful any arrest in this State that would otherwise
be lawful, and nothing contained in this section shall be deemed to repeal any of
the provisions of the Uniform Act on Fresh Pursuit.
