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 50 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Counsel for Baskerville concede that the arrest was lawful. The search was incident to a lawful arrest. The fact that the search was not made until Baskerville was taken to the County Jail from the point of the arrest in Denver, which was only a comparatively short time, did not, in our opinion, prevent the search from being an incident to a lawful arrest.” 227 F.2d at 456 .”
