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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The rights of the citizens to be secure in their houses, persons, papers and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated. No warrant shall issue except upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, particularly describing the place to be searched, or the person or thing to be seized."”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“"A search warrant based upon a statement in a complaint under oath that affiant ‘has reasonable and just cause to suspect, and does suspect’ that certain stolen property is concealed in the premises described, is not issued upon probable cause as is required by Section 6 of Article III of our Constitution and is therefore void.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage“[i]t is largely because of the difficulty of drawing a line through the border zone between proper and improper demands for bills of particulars that the matter is left largely to the discretion of the trial court.”
