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.
“‘When a policeman has made a lawful arrest of the occupant of an automobile ... he may, as a contemporaneous incident of that arrest, search the passenger compartment of that automobile.’ Commonwealth v. Jones, 396 Pa.Super. 304, 307 , 578 A.2d 527, 529 (1990) (quoting New York v. Belton, 453 U.S. 454 [ 101 S.Ct. 2860 , 69 L.Ed.2d 768 ] (1981)), alloc. denied, 526 Pa. 647 , 585 A.2d 467 (1991). Moreover, the officer may also examine the contents of any containers found within the passenger compartment. Commonwealth v. Henry, 358 Pa.Super. 306, 311 , 517 A.2d 559, 564 (1986). In short, “a search incident to the arrest requires no additional justification.” Id., 517 A.2d at 564 (citing United States v. Robinson, 414 U.S. 218 [ 94 S.Ct. 467 , 38 L.Ed.2d 427 ] (1973)).”
