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.

“[T]he extension of the original justification is legitimate only where it is immediately apparent to the police that they have evidence before them; the “plain view” doctrine may not be used to extend a general exploratory search from one object to another until something incriminating at last emerges.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“doctrine is an exception to the strict rule announced in Marron v. United States, 275 U.S. 192 / 48 S. Ct. 74 , 72 L. Ed. 231 (1927). The Supreme Court held, in 275 U.S. 192, 196 , that: The requirement that warrants shall particularly describe the things to be seized makes general searches under them impossible and prevents the seizure of one thing under a warrant describing another. As to what is to be taken, nothing is left to the discretion of the officer executing the warrant. The court, in Coolidge , has now carved out a common sense”
