However, concurrent <br />jurisdiction under this subparagraph does not include authority to make <br />nonconsensual or forcible entries into private dwellings, residences, living spaces <br />or business spaces which are not open to the public, i.e., authority derived <br />pursuant to this subparagraph may be exercised only when in places open to the <br />public or private places into which the arresting officer has entered with the <br />consent of an occupant entitled to give consent. <br />Prior to any officer taking enforcement action pursuant to either paragraph (a) or (b) <br />above, the officer shall notify the designated officer of the jurisdiction in which the action will be <br />taken, unless exigent circumstances prevent such prior notification, in which case notification <br />
