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 50 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In this Circuit, “[t]he rule of Payton is that there is ‘a firm line at the entrance to the house,’ and absent exigent circumstances ‘that threshold may not reasonably crossed without a warrant.’ ” (Citation omitted). “Pay-ton keeps the officer’s body outside the threshold, not his voice. It does not prevent a law enforcement officer from telling a suspect to step outside his home and then arresting him without a warrant.”.... However, at least four circuits have also concluded that where the police use coercive tactics to force a person out of his home to effectuate the warrantless arrest, the arrest is considered to have taken place within the home and contrary to ... Payton and the Fourth Amendment.””
