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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““From the foregoing provisions it is seen that the first duty of an officer in attempting to make an arrest without a warrant (where the arrested party is not taken in the actual commission of the offense or has escaped and is immediately pursued) is to inform the person to be arrested of his authority in so acting and the cause for so acting. If this simple provision of the statute were more closely observed by arresting officers (as it should be), we are convinced that there would be much less trouble in making arrests without a warrant.””

2. ““ It is not the purpose or intention of this court to restrict or impede peace officers who make arrests or attempt to make arrests legally. The statute, in plain and unmistakable terms provides the circumstances under which officers can legally make arrests without a warrant.””
