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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““When any peace officer is in fresh pursuit of any alleged offender, having a warrant for his arrest-or having knowledge that such warrant has been issued, or, in the absence of an arrest warrant, when the offense was committed in the officer’s presence or the officer has reasonable grounds to believe that the alleged offender has committed a criminal offense, and the alleged offender crosses a boundary line marking the territorial limit of his authority, such peace officer may pursue him beyond such boundary line and make the arrest, issue a summons and complaint, or issue a notice of penalty assessment.””

2. ““Since officers with authority to arrest in Weld County were present during the defendant’s arrest, we can perceive no reason to hold the arrest invalid.... To hold the arrest warrant invalid simply because the Larimer County Sheriffs officers did not formally request that the Weld County Sheriffs officers or Greeley police perform the steps required to effect the defendant’s arrest would be to exalt form over substance.””
