Susan,A detective with the New Hampshire Police dept has been sent to the NYC police department to work with detectives and while there in NY she sees a woman wanted for murder.Susan asks the woman to lunch,and mentions she is from New Hampshire but does not tell the woman she is a police officer. while at lunch the woman mentions she has family and would like to go see them in New Hampshire, and Susan offers to drive her there, as soon as they cross into NH from NYC, Susan stops the car and arrests her and takes her into the town she is wanted. The woman argues that the court has no jurisdiction.

Can This Validly be Raised??? WHY??

The Woman is wanted for murder in New Hampshire** I left that out of question

Yes, the argument that the court has no jurisdiction can be validly raised in this situation. The reason being, jurisdiction refers to the authority of a court to hear and decide a case. In this scenario, the woman was arrested in New Hampshire for a crime that she allegedly committed in New York City.

Typically, a court can exercise jurisdiction when the incident or offense occurred within its geographic boundaries. In this case, the alleged murder took place in New York City, which falls under the jurisdiction of the NYC police department and the courts in that jurisdiction.

The fact that Susan, a detective from the New Hampshire Police Department, arrested the woman in New Hampshire after she voluntarily accompanied Susan to that location could potentially give rise to a jurisdictional dispute. It could be argued that the New Hampshire court does not have jurisdiction over the case because the offense did not occur within its territorial limits.

However, it's important to note that the precise jurisdictional rules and laws can vary between jurisdictions, and further factual details may influence the outcome. It would ultimately be up to the courts to determine whether they have the authority to hear and decide the case based on the specific circumstances and legal principles applicable in their jurisdiction.
