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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Both the plain meaning of 71 P.S. § 646(e) and 42 Pa.C. S.A. § 8953 and the interpretation of the statutes by the courts of this Commonwealth provide Capitol Police with the authority to make extra-territorial arrests under certain circumstances. Capitol Police Officer Chiricos was acting within the scope of 71 P.S. § 646(e) as delineated in 42 Pa.C.S. § 8953 when, while on duty within his official patrol route he directly observed the misdemeanor offense which led to his extra-territorial arrest of appellant [for driving under the influence of alcohol]. Accordingly, appellant’s arrest was not illegal [and evidence from that arrest will not be suppressed.] Lymph, 538 A.2d at 1372 .”
