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 29 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“it is apparent from the evidence that no search and seizure was involved in the instant case. Since the police officers were validly in the room, they could properly view everything in plain sight in that room. State v. Clifford, 273 Minn. 249 , 141 N.W.2d 124 ; State v. Kotka, 277 Minn. 331 , 152 N.W.2d 445 , certiorari denied, 389 U.S. 1056 , 88 S.Ct. 806 , 19 L.Ed.2d 853 ; State v. Huffstutler, 269 Minn. 153 , 130 N.W.2d 347 . If the officers could validly view the inside of the room at all, they could validly photograph that which was in plain sight, and the photographs were properly admitted in evidence.”
