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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[a]n accused’s right to have an additional, independent chemical test administered is invoked by some statement that reasonably could be construed — in light of the circumstances — to be an expression of a desire for an additional, independent test. In adhering to this principle, we are guided by the circumstances surrounding an alleged request, not simply the semantics of the alleged request itself.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“No, I'll do a breath test. This response was made directly to Deputy Atkins's request for Sigerfoos's consent to a state-administered blood test. Viewed in context of the circumstances and his colloquy with Deputy Atkins, Sigerfoos's statement was not a request for an independent test, but rather an attempt to designate which test he wanted the State to administer. 2. Sigerfoos contends that the trial court erred by failing to suppress the blood test results because Deputy Atkins coerced him into submitting to the blood test. More specifically, Sigerfoos claims that Deputy Atkins coerced him by falsely informing Sigerfoos that his license would not be suspended and threatening to transport him to jail while he applied for a warrant. We find no such error in the trial court's failure to suppress the test results on this ground. "The determinative issue with the implied consent notice is whether the notice given was substantively accurate so as to permit the driver to make an informed decision about whether to consent to testing.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Georgia law requires you to submit to state administered chemical tests of your blood, breath, urine, or other bodily substances for the purpose of determining if you are under the influence of alcohol or drugs. If you refuse this testing, your Georgia driver's license or privilege to drive on the highways of this state will be suspended for a minimum period of one year. Your refusal to submit to the required testing may be offered into evidence against you at trial. If you submit to testing and the results indicate an alcohol concentration of 0.08 grams or more, your Georgia driver's license or privilege to drive on the highways of this state may be suspended for a minimum period of one year. After first submitting to the required state tests, you are entitled to additional chemical tests of your blood, breath, urine, or other bodily substances at your own expense and from qualified personnel of your own choosing. Will you submit to the state administered chemical tests of your blood under the implied consent law?”
