if an officer is in the act of pursuit of a "suspect" that has committed a felony, and that fleeing felon enters a domicile or building, the officer is considered in "hot pursuit" and can follow without stopping to obtain a warrant..

No "hot pursuit" was involved in the thread we were on.

Indeed they were in hot pursuit. They had a fugitive they were looking for, using dogs, personnel and helicopters, with reason to believe the fugitive was in the house.

I know of an incident where an errant doctor tried to kill a K-9. Another officer shot and killed the errant doctor.

The outcome was that it was justifiable.

That doesn't meet the criteria for "hot pursuit."

You're wasting your time around this blood-thirsty so-correct crowd.

"hot pursuit: the immediate and continuous pursuit by police officers of a fleeing suspect whose possible escape justifies the failure of the officers to obtain a warrant before making an entry, search, seizure, or arrest" - Merriam-Webster's Dictionary of Law ©1996

Unless the helicopters and dogs had been on his heels the whole time, it wasn't hot pursuit.

Don't be silly. They were indeed in immediate and continous pursuit. That's why they had the dogs and helicopters out there.

That does not mean that the person can't ever be out of the police officer's sight during this process.

They run into houses, they run through alleys, etc.

Maybe you should start slow and watch COPS or something.

Since you're claiming that the legal meaning of "continuous" is something other than its ordinary meaning, the burden is on you to support that claim with legal citations.
