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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In the case here under consideration there was nothing to indicate to the Matawan Police that the defendant had ' violated the law, but the officers had an unconscious man on their hands. He was obviously sick or injured; It then became absolutely necessary for the officers to search the defendant to discover his identity, next of kin, and possible information which would indicate that he was suffering some chronic disease. A search of an unconscious person by the police in these circumstances is not only reasonable, but required.”
