Yes. People rarely stay inside municipal lines. Work that starts in Spring Lake Park can continue in nearby communities such as Mounds View, Fridley, New Brighton, planned as one engagement and carried out by detectives licensed for each place the work goes.

Is Minnesota a one-party consent state?
