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 35 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“statements of the defendant obtained from questions asked while in custody or otherwise deprived of his [or her] freedom of action in any significant way could not be used as evidence against him [or her], unless preceded by the Miranda warnings.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“an individual is taken into custody or otherwise deprived of his freedom by the authorities.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“Clappes was not questioned in a coercive atmosphere of isolation created by the police giving rise to overbearing compulsion. The circumstances were public with witnesses present and no apparent police trickery or deception was used. The questions asked related to police investigation of a double fatal accident identifying the parties and circumstances, not a custodial verbal search intending to lead to the defendant's self incrimination. Police station interrogation carries a strong presumption of custody, although even that can be voluntary on the defendant's part; however, that strong custodial presumption does not exist in a public place, with others present as witnesses, without an arrest having been made.”
