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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“An inventory search serves the needs of protection of the owner’s property, and protection of police against potential danger from such things as explosives. For an inventory search to satisfy the fourth - amendment, law enforcement must conduct the search “in good faith and not use the inventory search as a subterfuge to conduct a warrantless search for incriminating evidence.” -In addition, the impoundment and inventory of a vehicle and its contents must be performed in accordance with the governmental entity’s standardized operating procedures.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“The validity of an inventory search relies on its purpose. The court must determine whether the impoundment of the vehicle was justified, and not just a pretext to an exploratory search of a vehicle. In making that determination, the court should consider the reason for the impoundment.”
