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.

“In order to meet this rule of standing . . . a two-part CT Page 5938 subjective/objective test must be satisfied: (1) whether the [person contesting the search] manifested a subjective expectation of privacy with respect to [the invaded premises]; and (2) whether that expectation [is] one that society would consider reasonable . . . this determination is made on a case-by-case basis . . . Whether a defendant's actual expectation of privacy . . . is one that society is prepared to recognize as reasonable involves a fact-specific inquiry into all the relevant circumstances. . . . State v. Joyce, 229 Conn. 10 , 20 , 639 A.2d 1007 (1994) Furthermore, [t]he defendant bears the burden of establishing the facts necessary to demonstrate a basis for standing. State v. Callari, 194 Conn. 18 , 23 , 478 A.2d 592 (1984), cert. denied, 469 U.S. 1210 , 105 S.Ct. 1178 , 84 L.Ed.2d 327 (1985).”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the dissent“The state does not claim that mere custody of the defendant's property would entitle the police to search the property, and the law holds otherwise. State v. Miller , 227 Conn. 363 , 386-87 , 630 A.2d 1315 (1993); State v. Mooney , supra, 218 Conn. 100 (assuming that upon probable cause the police were entitled to seize belongings found under a bridge and preserve them while a proper search warrant was secured, we held that the warrantless search of the belongings violated the fourth amendment).”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the dissent“Our concern for the right to personal privacy and our preference for the warrant to protect that privacy was recently underscored when we pointed out that even if the police act without a warrant under the emergency exception, once that emergency ceases to exist, the police must terminate their intrusive conduct.”
