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 25 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Among the pertinent circumstances to be considered is the qualification and function of the person making the arrest. An officer of a narcotics detail may find probable cause in activities of a suspect and in the appearance of paraphernalia or physical characteristics which to the eye of a layman could be without significance. His action should not, therefore, be measured by what might or might not be probable cause to an untrained civilian passerby, but by a standard appropriate for a reasonable, cautious, and prudent narcotics officer under the circumstances of the moment.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“In cases other than misdemeanors, an arrest can ,be made without a warrant only when the officer has reasonable grounds to believe that the suspect has committed, is committing, or is about to commit, a felony. State v. Darst, 65 Wn.2d 808 , 399 P.2d 618 (1965); State v. Mason, 41 Wn.2d 746 , 252 P.2d 298 (1953). If these reasonable grounds exist,, the arrest is said to be upon “probable cause,” and is. lawful. State v. Darst, supra. The arrest being lawful’ evidence found .from a search incident thereto remains untainted.”
