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 71 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"We are unaware of any rule of law which forbids lawfully constituted officers of the law from requesting persons to accompany them, or of providing transportation to the police station or some other relevant place in furtherance of an investigation of a crime. Nor are we aware of any rule of law that prohibits police officers from voluntarily taking a person to the police station or some other relevant place in an effort to exonerate such person from complicity in an alleged crime. Nor are we aware of any rule of law which forbids one to reject such request. If the circumstances show that the transportee is acting only upon the invitation, request, or even urging of the police, and there are no threats, express or implied, that he will be taken forcibly, the accompaniment is voluntary, and such person is not then in custody. In other words, under those circumstances, such person has not `been taken into custody or otherwise deprived of his freedom of action in any significant way.' Miranda v. Arizona, supra . " Shiflet v. State, 732 S.W.2d 622 (Tex.Cr.App.1985).”
5 later decisions quote this exact passage“"Where a person voluntarily accompanies police officers, who are then only in the process of investigating a crime, to a certain location, and he knows or should know that the police officers suspect he may have committed or may be implicated in committing the crime, we are unable to hold that under the circumstances such a person is restrained of his freedom of movement. Under those circumstances, he is not in custody." Dancy v. State, supra, at p. 778. (emphasis added)"”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“Generally speaking, custody comes in various and sundry forms. It can result from actual custody in the form of arrest; it can occur if a suspect is physically deprived of his freedom of action in any significant way, such as being placed in a police vehicle and taken to the station house for questioning; it can occur if a person is led to believe, as a reasonable person, that he is deprived of his freedom of movement, such as when a police officer tells him he cannot leave; it can occur if the police create a situation that would warrant a reasonable person in believing that his freedom of movement has been significantly restricted; or it can occur if there is probable cause to arrest and the police do not tell the suspect that he is free to leave, [citations omitted]”
