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 24 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[i]t is not uncommon for the police to barricade a road with police cars or commandeered vehicles in order to stop a person who has fled from the police at such a high rate of speed that it would be impossible or highly dangerous to try and overtake him. Their authority to do so is unquestioned; it “is inherent in the power and the duties of law enforcement officers if those duties are to be effectively discharged.” Consequently, it would seem clear that even if the presence of the barricade causes other vehicles to slow down substantially or even to stop for a brief period of time, the practice is not constitutionally objectionable.”
