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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

The search occurred within moments of the arrest and in the immediate area. It should also be noted that it does riot matter that the chance that the evidence in the automo biles may be destroyed or seized by the arrestees is remote, as long as it is possible.”
