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

  1. ““no constitutional infirmity in the questions asked [the petitioner.] The questions were not ‘reasonably likely to elicit an incriminating response from the suspect’ in the sense condemned by Miranda and Innis; they were merely part of or incidental tó'the roadside sobriety test. '. . . [The officer] asked [the petitioner] tó recite the alphabet not to obtain testimony, but to test whether [the petitioner’s] memory was impaired.” 688 F.2d at 92 .”

  2. “The questions asked here did not require the suspect to disclose his knowledge of his intoxication. They elicited tangible evidence of the physical condition of the suspect's body. The responses were no more testimonial or communicative than a voice exemplar.”
