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 27 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“physical mistreatment, use of violence, threats, promises, inducements, deception, trickery, or an aggressive tone, the physical and mental condition and capacity of the defendant, the number of officers on the scene, and the display of police weapons. Whether an officer reads a defendant his Miranda rights, obtains consent pursuant to a claim of lawful authority, or informs a defendant of his or her right to refuse consent also are factors to consider in determining whether consent given was voluntary under the totality of the circumstances.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“The validity of a consent-based search is based upon the totality of the circumstances as to whether the consent was the product of an essentially free and unconstrained choice by the maker or whether it was the product of duress or coercion, express or implied. Relevant circumstances include physical mistreatment, use of violence, threats, promises, inducements, deception, trickery, or an aggressive tone, the physical and mental condition and capacity of the defendant, the number of officers on the scene, and the display of police weapons.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“Qualified immunity does not, however, apply to the [plaintiffs’] [state law] malpractice claim. See Jenkins v. City of New York, 478 F.3d 76, 86 (2d Cir.2007) (stating that qualified immunity “protects an official from liability under federal causes of action but is not generally understood to protect officials from claims based on state law”).”
