Most-quoted passages

These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 25 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In the circumstances here, the only realistic explanation for the legality of the arrests and confinement, if they were legal, is that there was probable cause to believe that [the wife] and each of the children was in possession of a controlled substance. When a person is lawfully arrested for this reason, of course, post arrest searches of the body are generally permissible.”
