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.

“"Under exceptional circumstances it has been held that if there is a reasonable basis for moving the vehicle from the place where it was initially stopped, and at the time of the arrest the police had the legal right to search where the police eventually searched, and a relatively short time elapses between the decision to move the vehicle to a safer location and the ultimate search, then the search is constitutional. Chambers v. Maroney, 399 U.S. 42 , 52 n. 10, 90 S.Ct. 1975 , 1981 n. 10, 26 L.Ed.2d 419 , 429 n. 10 (1970); State v. Thomas, 310 So.2d 517 (La.1975), supra; State v. McQueen, 278 So.2d 114 (La. 1973), supra. Cf. also, Texas v. White, 423 U.S. 67 , 96 S.Ct. 304 , 46 L.Ed.2d 209 (1975) (dissenting opinion). The search under these circumstances is said to be constitutional. State v. McQueen, supra . "”
1 later decision quote this exact passage““ ‘Exigent circumstances’ normally exist when a moving vehicle is the subject of a search because of its mobility and the possibility that it could quickly be removed from the jurisdiction and the evidence destroyed. Faced with these possibilities, police armed with probable cause are justified in stopping the vehicle. At this point, in order to preserve the evidence and make an effective search, the police must either immediately search the car or seize it until a warrant can be obtained.””
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Gedric“It is clear that under the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution as well as Louisiana Constitution Article I, § 5, a warrantless search is `per se unreasonable' unless it falls within a limited number of well delineated exceptions to the warrant requirement.”
