A quick definition of fresh pursuit:

Definition: Fresh pursuit is when police officers are allowed to chase a suspect outside of their own area in order to catch them. They can also search and arrest the suspect without a warrant if they are running away. Fresh pursuit can also mean that someone can use reasonable force to get back something that was just taken from them.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Fresh pursuit, also known as hot pursuit or immediate pursuit, is a legal term that allows police officers to chase and apprehend a suspect beyond their own jurisdiction. This means that if a suspect flees from one jurisdiction to another, the police officers can continue to pursue them without a warrant.

For example, if a suspect commits a crime in one city and then flees to another city, the police officers can continue to chase them and make an arrest without a warrant. This is because the suspect is considered to be in "fresh pursuit" and the police officers have the right to apprehend them.

Fresh pursuit can also refer to the right of a person to use reasonable force to retake property that has just been taken. For example, if someone steals your phone and runs away, you have the right to chase them and use reasonable force to get your phone back.

Overall, fresh pursuit is an important legal concept that allows law enforcement officers to apprehend suspects who are trying to evade arrest. It helps to ensure public safety and prevent criminals from escaping justice.
