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.
“[T]he [trial] judge read into N.J.S.A. 2A:156A-4(c) requirements that it does not contain. There is no indication that the Legislature intended to circumscribe this expressly permitted method of intercepting communications to any greater degree than the single conditions imposed in N.J.S.A. 2A:156A-4(c). State v. Schultz, 176 N.J.Super. 65 [ 422 A.2d 105 ] (App.Div.1980). There is nothing in N.J.S.A. 2A:156A-4(c) which mandates that the prosecutor must particularize his reasons for finding reasonable suspicion to exist. As a matter of fact, although a written memorialization of reasonable suspicion on the part of the prosecutor may be desirable for the purpose of proof, the statute does not even appear to require that this determination be in writing. Although N.J.S.A. 2A:156A-8 requires that there be authorization in writing for a wiretap application there is no similar requirement for authorization for a consensual interception, (emphasis added)”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“Any person acting at the direction of an investigative or law enforcement officer to intercept a wire or oral communication where such person is a party to the communication or one of the parties to the communication has given prior consent to such interception; provided however, that no such interception shall be made unless the Attorney General or his designee or a county prosecutor within his authority determines that there exists a reasonable suspicion that evidence of criminal conduct will be derived from such interception. [N.J.S.A. 2A:156A-4(c) ]”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“I have reviewed the foregoing request for authorization to conduct a consensual interception and have concluded that there exists a reasonable suspicion that evidence of criminal conduct will be derived from the interception. I therefore approve the consensual interception subject to the following conditions. (emphasis added)”
