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 27 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The evidence before the judge or commissioner who issues the search warrant must be such as would be admissible on trial. Giles v. United States, 1 Cir, 284 F. 208, 214 . The commissioner must be furnished with facts — not suspicions, beliefs, or surmises. Veeder v. United States, 7 Cir, 252 F. 414 , 164 C.C.A. 338 . A mere conclusion is insufficient either in the affidavit or the complaint. United States v. Kaplan, D.C., 286 F. 963, 969 .””
