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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(1) the police have objectively 'reasonable grounds to believe that there is an emergency at hand and an immediate need for their assistance for the protection of life or property'; (2) there is an objectively 'reasonable basis, approximating probable cause, to associate the emergency with the area or place to be searched’; and (3) the search is not 'primarily motivated by intent to arrest and seize evidence.’”
