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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“While we need not undertake to define its scope, it appears to apply to day to day supervision of a probationer’s conduct in his home environment, including required or prohibited activities. If a probationer must, without limitation, “conform to all rules of conduct imposed by the probation agent,” then the other 11 general conditions, and any special conditions, would be superfluous. A requirement for custodial care or treatment of an institutional nature should be imposed only by the court, and not, as a rule of conduct, by the probation agent.”
