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 42 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(1) there was `prejudice' in the sense that the search might not have occurred or would not have been so abrasive if [ Rule 41] had been followed, or (2) there is evidence of intentional and deliberate disregard of [ Rule 41].”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“non-fundamental noncompliance with Rule 41”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“There is nothing in the affidavit to indicate that any other person had actually observed contraband at the house. Such a direct observation is unnecessary, however. It is only necessary that the affidavit enable the magistrate to conclude that it would be reasonable to seek the evidence in the place indicated by the affidavit. The nexus between the place to be searched and the items to be seized may be established by the type of crime, the nature of the items, and the normal inferences where a criminal would likely hide contraband. Drug dealers frequently hide contraband at their residences. 641 F.2d at 659 (citations omitted).”
