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 31 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““. . We do not construe the holding in Chime1 as absolutely prohibiting searches beyond the area of the arres-tee’s reach; but rather, we feel that Chi-mel only prohibits routine searches of the area beyond the arrestee’s reach (footnote omitted). It does not prohibit a search beyond that area if the circum stances of the arrest are such that an arresting officer would be justified in believing that an expanded search would be necessary for his protection. . . . ””
