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.

““To meet the burden cast on it, the prosecution may justify the search of an automobile without a search warrant by establishing (1) that there was prior probable cause for belief that the automobile contained articles which by law are subject to seizure, and (2) that the procuring of a search warrant was impracticable because of an imminence of escape or loss of evidence. Carroll v. United States, 267 U.S. 132 , 45 S.Ct. 280 , 69 L.Ed. 543 .””
