The opinion

Judge EAGLES

concurring.

I concur, but would emphasize that the results of an expensive and far reaching police investigation could have been jeopardized by the failure of local police officers to scrupulously abide by jurisdictional limitations. In this case the error was harmless, but for a law enforcement officer to wilfully act outside of his territorial jurisdiction without excuse is error.
