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 37 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

“"A peace officer may without warrant arrest a person * * * when he has reasonable ground to believe that a felony has been or is being committed and reasonable ground to believe that the person to be arrested has committed or is committing it." [3]”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage
e.g. 54 So. 2d 190 - Mixon v. State · 85 So. 2d 600 - Pegueno v. State
“"The fact that at the time of arrest the arresting officer may or may not have in his possession a warrant authorizing him to make a search is quite without legal significance; as is also the fact that such search warrant as he may have in his possession at the time may later prove to be insufficient. For the Federal Constitutional provision with respect to searches and seizures does not say that a search shall be made only under authority of a search warrant nor does it prescribe that a search shall not be made without a search warrant if it is practicable to secure one. The prohibition in the provision is against unreasonable searches and seizures. See Fourth Amendment to Federal Constitution; United States v. Rabinowitz, 339 U.S. 56 , 70 S.Ct. 430 , 94 L.Ed. 653 ."”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage
e.g. 182 So. 2d 252 - Casso v. State · 74 So. 2d 652 - Courington v. State
“As an incident to an arrest made under these conditions the arresting officer has the power, indeed, it is his duty, to search the person so arrested and to seize anything found on his person or in his possession or control tending to show that the person is guilty of a violation of the law.”
