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 1 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In providing that the “mere technical violation” of “police regulations or ordinances” does not “per se” constitute willful misconduct, the regulation clearly implies that the violation of positive authority such as state statutory or de- cisional law is relevant to the consideration of what does constitute willful misconduct; and even though the “technical violation of mere ordinances cannot alone support a finding of willful misconduct,” the regulation clearly contemplates the violation of state penal statutes as a highly relevant, if not dis-positive, consideration.”
