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

Summary

The law lets anyone be arrested without a warrant if they are charged in another state with any felony, not just capital crimes. It also gives police from other states the authority to arrest a felony suspect in Alabama if they are in fresh pursuit, with the suspect then brought before a judge. This expands law‑enforcement cooperation across state lines.
