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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““A warrantless search of a tenant’s room, although consented to by a landlord who had been given some authority by the tenant to enter the room, is illegal and violative of tenant’s Fourth Amendment constitutional rights * * * “We recognize in a situation where police officers are lawfully admitted to private premises they can seize what is in plain view, and not be subject to the charge that such actions were searches without warrant. This presupposes of course the entry or admittance is lawful, * * * This rule applies only on the condition the officers are lawftilly admitted to the private premises and focuses the issue in this case.” (Emphasis in original.)”
