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.

“"[P]robable cause for a warrantless arrest exists when the facts and circumstances known to the arresting officer and of which he has reasonably trustworthy information are sufficient to justify a man of ordinary caution in believing that the person to be arrested has committed a crime. State v. Dell, 258 La. 1024 , 249 So.2d 118 (1971); State v. Johnson, 249 La. 950 , 192 So.2d 135 (1966), cert. den. 388 U.S. 923 , 87 S.Ct. 2144 , 18 L.Ed.2d 1374 .”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“"It is common knowledge that narcotic offenders often try to swallow narcotics to defeat the law enforcement process. Law enforcement officers, of course, may adopt reasonable measures to retrieve the contraband. In the present case, the officers used a spoon to remove the particles of marijuana from the defendant's tongue. Under the circumstances, the action of the officers was neither cruel nor bizarre. As the United States Supreme Court observed in Schmerber v. California , the officers were confronted with an emergency that threatened the destruction of evidence."”
