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

1. ““When an officer is proceeding lawfully in making a valid search for items listed in a search warrant and discovers property known to be stolen, but which is beyond the scope of the warrant and unrelated to the listed items, he may seize the same and such property, if otherwise unobjectionable, may be admitted in evidence for the prosecution of the theft thereof.” “The validity of a search is not affected by the seizure of property beyond the scope of a warrant if the officer at the time of the seizure has probable cause, as distinguished from mere suspicion, to believe the property to be stolen.””
