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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In my opinion, under the facts of this case, the mere odor of burning marijuana is not by itself sufficient circumstantial evidence to constitute probable cause to justify entry into a private residence to effect a warrantless arrest. [Citations omitted]. The aroma of burnt marijuana may have a tendency to linger in a closed environment and provides no reliable clue regarding the occupants of the residence or whether a usable amount of marijuana is concealed therein.” 119 Ariz. at 216, 580 P.2d at 354.”
