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 1 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The appellee argues that the statutory language of [KRS 61Ó.200] is directory rather than mandatory and that Officer Cissell substantially complied with the procedure. We cannot agree. The statute specifically states that "the officer shall immediately notify" the parent or guardian of the details of the arrest. The fact that the legislature when into such detail in prescribing the steps that should be taken in detaining a juvenile mitigates against the directory argument.”
