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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Where a warrant valid in form and issued by a court of competent jurisdiction is placed in the hands of an officer for execution, it is his duty without delay to carry out its commands. The law is well settled that for the proper execution of such process the officer incurs no liability, however disastrous may be the effect of its execution upon the person against whom it is issued. (Kalish v. White, 36 Cal.App, 604 [ 173 P. 494 ] ; Pankewicz v. Jess, 27 Cal.App. 340 [ 149 P. 997 ]; Going v. Dinwiddie, 86 Cal. 633 [ 25 P. 129 ]; Stubbs v. Abercrombie, 42 Cal.App. 170 [ 183 P. 458 ].) Nor does the fact that the complaint alleges that the imprisonment was unlawful and void, alter or change the situation. Such an allegation tenders no issue. (Lapique v. Agoure, 51 Cal.App. 56 [ 195 P. 1075 ].)””
