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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“‘[T]he policeman in America is considered to be on duty twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. As a consequence, he is always on “good behavior.” He cannot entirely give himself to his own interests and his own life. His friends always feel the shadow of the policeman’s official position darkening their relationship. The officer’s personal life is hedged with restrictions as to associations and activities. These limitations are designed to restrict him from corruption, compromising situations, or the appearance of either. He is at the call of neighbors, more than other persons, much as the physician is. ’”
