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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The state or a political subdivision shall not be liable if a loss or claims results from: (6) ... the failure to provide, or the method of providing, police, law enforcement or fire protection.”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the dissent“Does Section 155(6) of Title 51 of the Oklahoma Statutes immunize a political subdivision from liability for damages for personal injuries an individual sustained as a result of a negligent act or omission of the political subdivision’s law enforcement personnel while acting within the scope of their employment in taking the individual into protective custody and transporting her to county jail?”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““We reject both the county’s and the plaintiffs proposed interpretation of subsection 155(6). As to the county’s argument, we refuse to read the Governmental Tort Claims Act so broadly. However, we have held that a municipality is not liable for the acts of its employees who act outside the scope of their employment. Nail v. City of Henryetta, 1996 OK 12 , 911 P.2d 914 .””
