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 28 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The review of a denial of a motion to suppress presents a mixed question of fact and law. We review the factual basis of the court's ruling for substantial evidence, deferring to the district court's view of the evidence. When, as here, there are no findings of fact and conclusions of law, we draw all inferences and indulge all presumptions in favor of the district court's ruling. Our review of the legal conclusions of the district court ... is de novo.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“The Fourth Amendment requires all searches and seizures be executed in a reasonable manner. Reasonableness depends on a balance between the public interest and the individual's right to personal security free from arbitrary interference by law officers.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“A search incident to arrest is a reasonable warrantless search because courts have long acknowledged that the societal interest in preventing the destruction of evidence and protecting the arresting officer outweighs the minimal intrusion of a pat-down.”
