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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"... the intentional opposition or resistance to, or obstruction of, an individual acting in his official capacity and authorized by law to make a lawful arrest or seizure of property, or to serve any lawful process or court order, when the offender knows or has reason to know that the person arresting, seizing property, or serving process is acting in his official capacity. "The phrase `obstruction of' as used herein shall, in addition to its common meaning, signification and connotation mean: "(a) Flight by one sought to be arrested before the arresting officer can restrain him and after notice is given that he is under arrest. "(b) Any violence toward or any resistance or opposition to the arresting officer after the arrested party is actually placed under arrest and before he is incarcerated in jail. "(c) Refusal by the arrested party to give his name and make his identity known to the arresting officer. "(d) Congregates with others on a public street and refuses to move on when ordered by the officer." R.S. 14:108.”
