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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Search warrants are to be strictly construed. The authority to search is limited to the place described in the warrant. This does not include additional or different places.... A search of a citizen’s residence must be based on the description set forth in the warrant and not left to the discretion of an officer. In the case before us, an officer without independent knowledge would have searched an incorrect residence. This can and must be avoided.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“An inaccuracy in the warrant, such as an incorrect address or apartment number, does not invalidate the warrant if the place to be searched is otherwise sufficiently identified in the warrant.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“the warrant contained detailed directions to the small apartment building in which appellant resided and described the apartment to be searched as the one occupied by appellant and another named individual. The officers were aware of appellant’s residence through their surveillance of the premises, and were able with reasonable effort to identify the place to be searched in accordance with the warrant description. In the circumstances presented the inaccuracy in the warrant with regard to the apartment number did not place the officers in doubt as to the premises to be searched and does not invalidate the warrant.”
