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

1. “Affiant states that the residence is so situated that the approach of the serving officers will be readily apparent to persons at the residence due to the residence being situated on the corner of Asher Avenue and Valentine Streets offering no immediate cover and/or concealment for the approaching officers to the residence and the use of darkness, as concealment, in the approach of the residence would better protect the evidence sought as well as the approaching officers because the evidence sought is concealed and packaged in such a manner that its destruction or removal will be likely prior to the officers arrival. Affi-ant states that because Byron Foster frequently removes cocaine from his residence and transports it to other locations and because cocaine is being distributed from the residence at all times of the day or night, the Affiant prays that a warrant be issued for a search of the residence, cur-tilage, and person of Byron Foster, and that said warrant be issued for a search of the residence any time of the day or night.”
