Simple English definitions for legal terms

fresh pursuit

Read a random definition: public nuisance

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.

I mean, idk how it's possible to end birth right citizenship without amending the constitution because to me the 14th amendment is pretty clear about it.
ross ulbricht tried to hire a hitman to kill 5 people

@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: That might have been an FBI agent. It was most likely him and he was most likely doing it to retrieve stolen funds that corrupt FBI agents stole, but yeah moral gray area but me personally, cool with hitmen. It's not like it is uncommon to hire hitmen. I don't think the action itself is necessarily wrong but the intent behind it can be.

Like, Boeing whistblowers being killed by hitmen = wrong but a guy hiring hitmen to retrieve stolen funds = good to me.

@Dkk: Yeah, for sure. My guess is it'll go to SCOTUS and it'll be 8-1 or 7-2, saying that EO was unconstitutional.
