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 55 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

  3. ““The fourth amendment requires that a search warrant describe the things to be seized with sufficient particularity to prevent a ‘general, exploratory rummaging in a person’s belongings.’ ” Voss v. Bergsgaard, 774 F.2d 402, 404 (10th Cir.1985) (quoting Coolidge v. New Hampshire, 403 U.S. 443, 467 , 91 S.Ct. 2022, 2038 , 29 L.Ed.2d 564 (1971)). “The particularity requirement ensures that a search is confined in scope to particularly described evidence relating to a specific crime for which there is demonstrated probable cause.” Id. “The requirement that warrants shall particularly describe the things to be seized makes general searches under them impossible and prevents the seizure of one thing under a warrant describing another. As to what is to be taken, nothing is left to the discretion of the .officer executing the warrant.” Marron v. United States, 275 U.S. 192, 196 , 48 S.Ct. 74, 76 , 72 L.Ed. 231 (1927). We have stated that “[t]he test applied to the description of the items to be seized is a practical one,” [United States v.] Leary, 846 F.2d [592] at 600 [ (10th Cir. 1988) ], and the language in warrants is to be read in a “common sense fashion,” In re Search of Kitty’s East, 905 F.2d [1367] at 1374 [ (10th Cir.1990) ]. Thus, “‘[a] description is sufficiently particular when it enables the searcher to reasonably ascertain and identify the things authorized to be- seized.’ ” Leary, 846 F.2d at 600 (quot- - ing United States v. Wolfenbarger, 696 F.2d 750, 752 (10th Cir.1”
