Dr. Elizabeth Olivet: (correcting Cragen) He's psychotic; he's not psychopathic.
Phil Cerreta: What's the difference?
Elizabeth Olivet: Psychotic is when you believe the doorman was sent from Planet X to put mind control devices in your teeth. Psychopathic is when you blow the doorman away and take out twenty other people while you're at it. (edit) Mike Logan: Let's say it was a mugger. He got scared off before he could get to the money.
Phil Cerretta: Or maybe he just got mad because somebody kicked his box.
Mike Logan: Well, wouldn't you?
Phil Cerreta: Don't you kick my box! (edit) Phil Cerreta: What can you tell us about the ring?
Christian 'Lemonhead' Tatum: When is Mr. Rehnquist getting here?
Mike Logan: Oh, listen, he’s caught up in a Supreme Court thing. Hang tight.
(edit) (Reviewing police line-up.)
Phil Cerreta: Take your time.
Ms. Murdoch: I want the good-looking one. Bachelor number two. (edit) Ms. Murdoch: How come every freak in the country lives in New York? Why don’t some of you people move to Nebraska?
Sal Violet: I’m from Nebraska, sweetie. How do you think I got this way? (edit)

Appellate Judge Rosenblum: And the same court in 'Oliver' specifically refused to extend the Fourth Amendment protection to open fields.
In Oliver v. U.S. (1984), Ray Oliver challenged his arrest for cultivating cannabis. Two Kentucky state officers acted on a tip of marijuana growing. They drove onto Oliver's land and up to a gate which was marked “No Trespassing." They walked along a path around the gate onto Oliver’s property, continuing down the road for nearly a mile, where they spotted a large marijuana crop on his property and arrested him. The Supreme Court ruled that “[A]n individual may not legitimately demand privacy for activities conducted out of doors in fields, except in the area immediately surrounding the home...open fields do not provide the setting for those intimate activities that the Amendment is intended to shelter from government interference or surveillance.” (edit) Ben Stone: What's Ackerman relying on?
Paul Robinette: Sympathy. And a 1967 Supreme Court decision, Katz vs. US. The majority held that the police could not tap a public phone without a warrant.
In Katz vs. U.S. (1967), Charles Katz challenged his arrest for illegal gambling by the FBI on the basis of their tapping his phone conversations from a public telephone booth, where he would place his bets. The Supreme Court ruled that “the Fourth Amendment protects people--and not simply areas,” and the issue of police search in public places should be evaluated by a two-fold test: a) whether the person exhibited an actual (subjective) expectation of privacy and b) whether the expectation is one that society would recognize as reasonable.
