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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““A. Criminal proceedings in summary cases shall be instituted in the following manner: (1) Traffic offenses (other than parking) (a) Except as provided by subparagraphs (A)(1)(b) and (c), a citation shall be issued to the defendant by a police officer, who shall be in uniform, when the offense charged is a violation of a traffic ordinance or when it is a summary offense under the Vehicle Code.” The remainder of the Rule is inapplicable.”
