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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Even if there were probable cause to-believe that the envelopes contained narcotics, petitioner was under arrest and' the envelopes were in the possession of the police officers. There was no danger that the contents of the envelopes would be used to effectuate an escape or that evidence would be destroyed. Under these circumstances, the police officers should have secured a search warrant prior to opening the sealed envelopes.” 306 F.Supp. at 1332.”
