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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““[T]here was no probable cause to believe that defendant was in possession of controlled substances. . . . Constructive possession requires that a defendant have control or the right to control the contraband. [Citation omitted.] Mere presence in the quarters of others where contraband is found is not sufficient to allow an inference of possession. [Citation omitted.] The officers knew defendant was a guest in the house, the owner had identified himself. Without more than his mere presence, there was no probable cause to believe that defendant was in constructive possession of the drugs found in the house.” 55 Or. App. at 373 .”
