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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““A search of the automobile was made without the consent of the appellant and on mere suspicion. No offense was committed in the presence of the officer and appellant was not arrested until after the search had been made and the liquor discovered. * * * “We have consistently held that it is unlawful for an officer to hold up a citizen .on the highway for search of his person, or his portable possessions, without a search warrant or unless an offense has been committed in the officer’s presence.””
