Criminal procedure; out-of-state warrants, arrest authorized for crime punishable by more than one year, arrest by out-of-state officers authorized

SB 114 expands Alabama's warrantless arrest authority to include any felony charge from another state (previously limited to death or life imprisonment cases), affecting individuals charged with serious crimes in other states. It also allows out-of-state law enforcement officers to arrest suspects during "fresh pursuit" after fleeing across state lines while chasing someone suspected of committing a felony in their home state. The bill requires arrested individuals to be promptly presented to a judge for a hearing to verify the arrest's legality, with outcomes including detention for extradition or release if unlawful.
