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 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[t]he sole purpose of this [PBT] test is to assist the officer in determining whether or not the person [suspected of DUI] should be placed under arrest.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“[T]he results of lie detector tests are inadmissible at trial due to their unreliable nature. Therefore, any reference to a lie detector test which raises an inference concerning the guilt or innocence of a defendant is inadmissible. Commonwealth v. Camm, 443 Pa. 253, 269 , 277 A.2d 325, 333 (1971). The mere mention of a líe detector test, however, does not constitute reversible error.”
