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 51 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[T]he [arresting] officers at Town Creek could rely on the radio broadcast but the subsequent determination by any court as to probable cause must necessarily turn on all the circumstances giving rise to the police dispatch. . . . (emphasis added)”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“"The measure of the legality of warrantless searches and seizures is whether the seizing officers have probable cause for believing that the automobile they stop contains stolen property, illegal contraband or other fruits of a crime. Following Whiteley [v. Warden , 401 U.S. 560 , 91 S.Ct. 1031 , 28 L.Ed.2d 306 (1971)] the officers at Town Creek could rely on the radio broadcast but the subsequent determination by any court as to probable cause must necessarily turn on all the circumstances giving rise to the police dispatch."”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“"A. I advised her from this form. `You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to talk to a lawyer and have him present with you while you are being questioned. If you cannot afford to hire a lawyer, one will be appointed to represent you before any questioning, if you wish. You can decide at any time to exercise these rights and not answer any questions or make any statements.' And, I asked her if she understood those. And she stated she did. I asked her, having those in mind and understanding them, was she willing to talk with us and she said she was. "Q. All right. At that time, did you ask her to sign it? "A. Yes, I did. "Q. And did she sign it in your presence? "A. Yes, she did. "Q. Did you witness it in her presence? "A. I certainly did. "Q. And did Linda Cassady witness it then? "A. Yes, she did. In her presence." (Emphasis supplied.)”
