Final answer:
The arrest process in question, where a suspect attempts to thwart arrest by running into a residence, is known as hot pursuit. Option 1 is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
The process being described is known as hot pursuit. This is a legal concept that allows police to enter a residence without a warrant if they are chasing a suspect who is attempting to evade arrest by entering into that dwelling. The idea is that in such a situation, the need to immediately catch the suspect is so urgent that it outweighs the usual requirements for a search warrant or the suspect's expectation of privacy in their home.
For example, if an officer observes someone committing a crime in public and the suspect flees into their home to avoid arrest, the officer is typically allowed to enter the home and continue the chase. This is to prevent suspects from evading law enforcement simply by crossing a threshold.
It's important to remember that once the immediate need for hot pursuit ends, the usual legal restrictions on searches and seizures would apply, and officers would typically need to obtain a warrant to conduct further searches of the residence unless other exceptions to the warrant requirement apply, such as the presence of exigent circumstances or the consent of the homeowner.
