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

1. “"The state also maintains that a construction of ORS [Oregon Revised Statute] 484.365 to include prior foreign convictions is supported by an examination of analogous provisions of the criminal code, i.e. the `ex-convict in possession' statute, ORS 166.270, and the `dangerous offender' statute, ORS 161.725. However, as the state acknowledges, both statutes now expressly provide that foreign convictions are included in the terms of the statute. "Prior to 1975, ORS 166.270 did not expressly include foreign convictions. In State v. Jones, 4 Or.App. 447, 452 , 479 P.2d 1020 (1971), this court held that a prior conviction of a felony in another state was within the terms of the former statute. However, Jones is distinguishable from the situation here because the issue was the interpretation of what constitutes a prior `felony.' The term `felony' is one of general application which can be defined by resort to the statute of the other jurisdiction. This is in contrast to the terms `traffic infraction' and `traffic crime' used in ORS 484.365 which have neither general application nor are defined in other statutes."”
