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.
“[Y]our affiant's reason for his belief is that within the last six days he met with a confidential and reliable informant who advised him that inside 118 Lake Avenue, Apt. A, Largo, Pinellas County, Florida, he observed one Diana King rolling handmade cigarettes filled with what he believed to be cannabis (marijuana).”
3 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Law · State v. Drowne“The courts of this state have, sometimes, upheld and have on other occasions disapproved the use of the phrase “within the” such and such period. The courts approve its use if the information provides probable cause by indicating the informant made an actual purchase or other exchange or actually observed illegal acts within a certain stated period which is not remote to the date of application for the search warrant. State v. Schwarzbauer, 342 So.2d 1085 (Fla. 2d DCA 1977); State v. Bishop, 395 So.2d 238 (Fla. 1st DCA 1981). However, where affidavits to search warrants indicate merely that the police and the informant met or conferred within a certain given period of time, without noting when the informant observed the illegal act, then the courts have disapproved search warrants generally on the theory that the affidavit fails to provide the issuing magistrate probable cause to believe the crime occurred and is continuing to occur in the premises to be searched at the time of the issuance of the search warrant. State v. Mills, 267 So.2d 44 (Fla. 2d DCA 1971); Orr v. State, 382 So.2d 860 (Fla. 1st DCA 1980). (emphasis added)”
