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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The issue in this case is whether the Department of Corrections official did have lawful authority to search the automobile of a prison employee parked inside the “guard line” of the prison, as he represented. We agree with the opinion of the Attorney General that corrections officials have the authority to condition a visit to a corrections institution on the visitor’s willingness to submit to a search for contraband or other items prohibited by OCGA § 42-5-15. See Op. Atty. Gen. 74-146 (Nov. 7,1974). At the prison in question, a sign was posted at the entry of the premises, which defendant would have passed daily as he reported to work, giving notice that all vehicles passing the “guard line” of the prison were subject to search. Under these circumstances, we find that prison officials also have authority to search the vehicle of an employee parked inside the “guard line.” ... By driving his automobile onto the premises, defendant consented to such a search.”
