Book excerpt: The ability of a Kansas police officer to arrest an individual in another state for a traffic infraction or misdemeanor committed in Kansas depends on the Uniform Law on Fresh Pursuit adopted by the state in which the arrest is to be made. The procedure to be followed pursuant to a lawful arrest also depends largely on the laws of the state in which the arrest is made. In general, Kansas law enforcement officials in fresh pursuit may arrest in Colorado for any crime, whereas they may arrest in Missouri, Nebraska and Oklahoma only on the ground that the individual is believed to have committed a felony in Kansas.
