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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In Burdeau v. McDowell ( 256 U. S. 465 ) the Supreme Court (p. 475) flatly stated that the Fourth Amendment’s ‘origin and history clearly show that it was intended as a restraint upon the activities of sovereign authority, and was not intended to be a limitation upon other than governmental agencies.’ * * *. “In Burdeau , however, and in the case at bar, the evidence was not seized in violation of the Federal Constitution because neither the Fourth nor Fourteenth Amendment proscribes private as opposed to governmental activity. Therefore, since the evidence in this ease was seized without the participation or knowledge of any governmental official, it is admissible in a criminal prosecution. [Citations omitted.] ””
