What is required to satisfy the hot pursuit exception to the warrant requirement?
A. Immediate or continuous pursuit of a subject from the scene of a crime, or a articulable threat to public safety. Welsh v. Wisconsin, 466 U.S. 740 (1984) Car Stops Q. Can an officer detain a suspected drug trafficker based on a drug courier profile ((1) experienced drug interdiction officer; (2) defendant was extremely nervous, (3) defendant was breathing heavy; (4) defendant was avoiding eye contact; (5) defendant had hotel business card on floor of vehicle with handwritten phone number on it; (6) the interior of car had no luggage or other personal items [in other words, the car was clean]; and (7) the driver was unable to name the owner of the car)? A. Probably not. In State v. Chapman, 23 Kan. App. 2d 999 , 1005, 939 P.2d 950 (1997), the court held the factors cited above did not rise to the level of reasonable suspicion. Interestingly, the Court of Appeals looked at a prior case involving the same trooper where the trooper testified he believed the driver was trafficking drugs
