New Jersey § 2a:156-2

§ 2a:156-2.

The term “ fresh pursuit ” as used in this chapter shall include fresh pursuit as defined by the common law,

and also the pursuit of a person who has committed a high misdemeanor or is reasonably

suspected of having committed a high misdemeanor in this state, or who has committed

or attempted to commit any criminal offense in this state in the presence of the arresting

officer referred to in section 2A:156-1 of this title, or for whom such officer holds a warrant of arrest for a criminal

offense. It shall also include the pursuit of a person suspected of having committed a supposed

high misdemeanor in this state, though no high misdemeanor has actually been committed,

if there is reasonable ground for so believing. Fresh pursuit as used herein shall not necessarily imply instant pursuit, but pursuit

without unreasonable delay.
