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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"* * * The testimony of police officers at the hearing before respondent's referee was that on the basis of their observations of petitioner's voice, speech, eyes, breath and gait he was in their opinion intoxicated. This meets the preliminary statutory requirement for the request by the arresting officer that a test for alcohol be taken by the driver, i. e., `reasonable grounds to believe' that the person was `driving' in an intoxicated condition." Clancy v. Kelly, 7 A.D.2d 820 , 180 N.Y.S.2d 923 .”
