626.69 FRESH PURSUIT.
The term "fresh pursuit," as used in sections 626.65 to 626.69, includes fresh pursuit as
defined by the common law, and also the pursuit of a person who has committed a felony or who
is reasonably suspected of having committed a felony. It shall also include the pursuit of a person
suspected of having committed a supposed felony, though no felony has actually been committed,
if there is reasonable ground for believing that a felony has been committed. Fresh pursuit, as
used therein, shall not necessarily imply instant pursuit, but pursuit without unreasonable delay.
