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 72 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"That all warrants, without oath or affirmation, to search suspected places, or to seize any person or property, are grevious [grievous] and oppressive; and all general warrants to search suspected places, or to apprehend suspected persons, without naming or describing the place, or the person in special, are illegal, and ought not to be granted.””
7 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. Davis v. State · Green v. Zendrian“"although a clause of the United States Constitution and one in our Declaration of Rights may be 'in pari materia,' and thus 'decisions applying one provision are persuasive authority in cases involving the other, we reiterate that each provision is independent, and a violation of one is not necessarily a violation of the other.’ ””
3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. Parker v. State · State v. Suddith“What the Supreme Court said in Salvucci and Rawlings, a case which did involve an alleged narcotics violation, is closely similar to the prior statements of this Court. We now hold in accordance with Salvucci that one who seeks under Art. 26 to challenge the validity of a search and seizure must establish that his own rights have in fact been violated. As the Supreme Court put it in Rawlings, there is but one inquiry to be made, “whether governmental officials violated any legitimate expectation of privacy held by (the accused).” Id. 448 U.S. at 106, 100 S.Ct. at 2562 . The findings of the trial judge as to a lack of an expectation of privacy under the Fourth Amendment are equally applicable to alleged violation of Maryland Declaration of Rights, Article 26. Hence, we find no error. (Emphasis added).”
