The same Wisconsin officers (from section above), before they even came to see Larsen at the Wheeling, IL jail, took his truck from a fenced-in secure parking lot at the Air Traffic Control Tower, and had it towed from Illinois to Wisconsin without Larsen's permission, a warrant, or any court order. The times of such are well-documented within various police documents. Courts have consistently held that "an officer acting beyond his jurisdiction loses his cloak of authority". Wisconsin officers are simply not allowed to collect evidence outside of their jurisdiction.
