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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“As to a search warrant, `It is enough if the description sufficiently permits a prudent officer with a search warrant to be able to locate the person and place definitely and with reasonable certainty.' Fomby v. State, 120 Ga. App. 387 ( 170 SE2d 585 ). See Steele v. State, 118 Ga. App. 433, 434 ( 164 SE2d 255 ). `Where the premises sought to be searched are described by street and number, such a description will not authorize a search of premises of another street or number.' 79 CJS 886, 894, Searches and Seizures, § 81.”
