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.
““The lawfulness of appellant’s arrest (and the proper admittance of the heroin into evidence as an incident thereto) depends upon whether the facts and circumstances within the officer’s knowledge were sufficient in themselves to warrant a man of reasonable caution in the belief that an offense was being committed in his presence. Price v. State, 227 Md. 28 , 175 A. 2d 11 ; Brinegar v. United States, 338 U. S. 160 (a felony case). * * * a peace officer may arrest without a warrant for a misdemeanor committed in his presence or view.””
