    Indeed, our research has disclosed no case in which an "in the presence of" requirement has been held constitutionally indispensible to a valid arrest. See Street v. Surdyka, 492 F.2d 368 (4th Cir. 1974); Diamond v. Marland, 395 F. Supp. 432 (S.D. Ga. 1975); United States v. Grosso, 225 F. Supp. 161 (W.D. Pa. 1964); Lurie v. District Attorney of Kings County, 56 Misc.2d 68, 288 N.Y.S.2d 256 (1968). We have said in State v. Davis, 105 R.I. 247, 251 A.2d 394 (1969), that article 1, ยง 6 of our state constitution has the same effect as the fourth amendment of the Federal Constitution.
