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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The courts may, in response to such police tactics as were publicized in relation. to the effort to apprehend persons in the M.O.Y.E. Headquarters in, Philadelphia, PA in 1985, conclude that such methods under such circumstances would violate the constitutional rights of the persons harmed. Indeed, courts might hold on the basis of the facts in this case that the use of fire to “burn out” a fugitive would violate the constitutional rights of the fugitive Kahl. But the point is that no court had so held prior to June 3, 1983.”
