Section 107-4(a-3)(2) of Code of Criminal Procedure requires that officers have first-hand awareness or knowledge of commission of offense, for officers to have authority to stop or arrest a Defendant under that Section. Exclusionary rule is applicable where police effectuate an extraterritorial arrest without appropriate statutory authority. (JORGENSEN and ZENOFF, concurring.)
