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 66 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A consent which is the product of coercion or deceit on the part of the police is invalid. [Cits.] Thus, close judicial scrutiny of an alleged consent to search is necessary. This is particularly true under the circumstances of this case because it is difficult to imagine why an accused . . . would voluntarily permit officers to conduct a search of his premises if he knows that incriminating evidence will be found.” Code v. State, 234 Ga. 90, p. 93 , supra.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“[W]hen an officer represents to an accused that he has authority to search, when actually he does not, a resultant consent by the accused to the search is invalid. In these circumstances, the consent is merely a submission to an apparent legitimate display of legal authority to which all are required to submit.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“We must look to the conduct of the officers... to ascertain whether there was coercion [or deceit] in obtaining the consent to search.”
