It would depend on where they initiated contact. For instance, let’s say a cop from City A pulls someone over on the boundary with City B. Even if you pull over on City B’s side, it’s still a valid stop because they initiated it (turned their lights on) while still within their own legal jurisdiction. Even though you’re outside of their jurisdiction at the moment, what matters is that they first initiated contact when it was legal to do so.
What if you’re 99 miles and 5279 feet from the border while being questioned? Can you take one more step and be safe?
And are those statute miles or nautical miles?
They’ll probably claim “hot pursuit” as a justification for arresting you.
Evading arrest is likely the charge, however I’m being pedantic.
Sorry I meant hot pursuit would probably be the justification for why they’d be allowed to chase you outside their jurisdiction
Sure, like I said I was being pedantic.

Not according to Dukes of Hazzard logic.
