extra-jurisdictional authority to conduct investigations and
make arrests anywhere in the State of Illinois regarding
criminal activities of organized gangs that involve the use of
the Internet.
    (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, if any
criminal statute of this State authorizes the distribution of
all or a portion of the proceeds realized from property seized
or forfeited under that statute to participating law
enforcement agencies or the delivery of property forfeited and
seized under that statute to participating law enforcement
agencies, a law enforcement agency in which an Internet Gang
Crime Unit has been created is eligible to receive such a
distribution or delivery if that law enforcement agency
participated through its Internet Gang Crime Unit, regardless
of the jurisdiction in which the seizure or forfeiture occurs.
    (d) The Cook County Sheriff's Office, the City of Danville
Police Department, and the Village of Round Lake Heights Police
Department shall report to the Department of State Police on a
quarterly basis on the activities of their Internet Gang Crime
Units in accordance with reporting guidelines established by
the Department of State Police. The Department of State Police
shall file a consolidated report on a quarterly basis with the
General Assembly and the Governor. The Department's
consolidated report may also contain any evaluations or
recommendations that the Department deems appropriate.
    (e) The pilot program shall terminate on July 1, 2010.
    (f) As used in this Section, "organized gang" has the
meaning ascribed to it in Section 10 of the Illinois Streetgang

    Section 10. The Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 is
amended by changing Section 107-4 as follows:
 
    (725 ILCS 5/107-4)  (from Ch. 38, par. 107-4)

        (2) "Peace Officer" means any peace officer or member
    of any duly organized State, County, or Municipal peace
    unit, any police force of another State, or any police

    (a-3) Any peace officer employed by a law enforcement
agency of this State may conduct temporary questioning pursuant

jurisdiction within this State if: (1) if the officer is
engaged in the investigation of an offense that occurred in the
officer's primary jurisdiction and the temporary questioning
is conducted or the arrest is made pursuant to that
investigation; or (2) if the officer, while on duty as a peace
officer, becomes personally aware of the immediate commission
of a felony or misdemeanor violation of the laws of this State;
or (3) if the officer, while on duty as a peace officer, is
requested by an appropriate State or local law enforcement
official to render aid or assistance to the requesting law
enforcement agency that is outside the officer's primary
jurisdiction; or (4) in accordance with Section 2605-580 of the
Department of State Police Law of the Civil Administrative Code

shall be immediately notified of the arrest.
    (b) Any peace officer of another State who enters this
State in fresh pursuit and continues within this State in fresh
pursuit of a person in order to arrest him on the ground that
he has committed an offense in the other State has the same
authority to arrest and hold the person in custody as peace
officers of this State have to arrest and hold a person in
custody on the ground that he has committed an offense in this
State.
    (c) If an arrest is made in this State by a peace officer
of another State in accordance with the provisions of this
Section he shall without unnecessary delay take the person
arrested before the circuit court of the county in which the
arrest was made. Such court shall conduct a hearing for the
purpose of determining the lawfulness of the arrest. If the
court determines that the arrest was lawful it shall commit the
person arrested, to await for a reasonable time the issuance of
an extradition warrant by the Governor of this State, or admit
him to bail for such purpose. If the court determines that the
arrest was unlawful it shall discharge the person arrested.
