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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The reasonableness of an entry by the police upon private property is measured by the totality of existing circumstances. The right of police to enter and investigate an emergency, without an accompanying intent either to seize or arrest, is inherent in the very nature of their duties as peace officers and derives from the common law.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. PBP v. State · P.B.P. v. State“determination of the existence of an emergency is to be measured by the reasonableness of [the officers'] belief at the time, not the existence of an emergency in fact.”
