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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Although the Hester opinion has not been overruled, subsequent opinions indicate that the open fields doctrine cannot be used as carte blanche for a warrantless search simply because the location searched is not part of a dwelling or its adjacent curtilage. As the Court has later observed in its opinion in Katz v. United States, 389 U.S. 347 , 88 S.Ct. 507, 19 L.Ed.2d 576 (1967) '... the Fourth Amendment protects people not places.' Our opinion in Norman v. State, 379 So.2d 643 (Fla.Sup.Ct.1980) made it clear that fences and locked gates are evidence of the owner's or possessor's expectation of privacy.”
