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 24 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““But [that decision did not involve] an arguably valid search incident to a lawful custodial arrest as the court pointed out in the Chadwick case: “‘Here the search was conducted more than an hour after federal agents had gained exclusive control of the footlocker and long after respondents were securely in custody; the search, therefore cannot be viewed as incidental to the arrest or as justified by any other exigency.”’ Commonwealth v. Henry at 313 , 517 A.2d at 563 .”
