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.
““Under sec. 10 of our Constitution as construed in Youman v. Com., 189 Ky. 152 , 224 S. W. 860 , 13 A. L. R. 1303, the testimony of the officers as to what they found in appellant’s truck was incompetent as the search was made without a search warrant and without his consent. We have many times written that sec. 10 protects a citizen from an officer searching his person, car, truck or portable possessions on the highway without a search warrant unless an offence has been committed in the officer’s presence, and that the evidence obtained by such an unlawful search is not competent to sustain a conviction. Marsh v. Com., 255 Ky. 484 , 74 S. W. 2d 943 ; Adkins v. Com., 202 Ky. 86 , 259 S. W. 32 ; Helton v. Com., 195 Ky. 678 , 243 S. W. 918 .””
