Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[I]f [the officer] is entitled to any immunity under either statute in this case, then such protection must flow from section 776.05. We hold that the specific language of section 776.05, titled “Law enforcement officers; use of force in making an arrest,” must apply to the behavior of law enforcement officers during the course of an arrest, rather than the language of section 776.032, which applies generally to the public at large.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“The decision in Caamano and Florida Statute 776.05 specifically applied to an officer’s use of force while making an arrest. “[I]t is undisputed that the alleged crime occurred during the course of an arrest.” Caamano at 20 . The [officer] in this case was responding to an emergency and was investigating a disturbance .... Therefore, the limitation on law enforcement officers to proceed under section 776.05 to the exclusion of section 776.032 is distinguishable from the present case as such limitation only applies, if at all, to cases where the officer is in the- process of making an arrest. Therefore this Court finds that the [officer] herein is eligible to seek immunity under Florida Statute 776.012 and 776.032 in the instant case.”
