La 'persecución inmediata' es cuando un oficial de policía sigue a alguien que creen que ha hecho algo malo, como un crimen grave o manejar borracho. No tiene que ser en el instante exacto, pero debe ser rápido y sin demoras innecesarias.
Es como cuando un maestro ve a un estudiante salir corriendo de la escuela después de hacer algo indebido. El maestro no necesita atraparlo al segundo, pero debe seguirlo rápidamente para asegurarse de que no se escape.
Imagina que Carlos, un policía, ve a un auto que maneja de forma errática. Carlos sospecha que el conductor, Juan, está borracho. Aunque Juan no ha chocado ni ha cometido un delito evidente, Carlos lo persigue porque tiene razones para creer que Juan está violando la ley.
