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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Plaintiffs have asked this court to hold the searches unconstitutional because the Defendants had no probable cause or reasonable suspicion for the search. In Peachtree City, the Eleventh Circuit appears to place some emphasis on the idea that the officer had ‘reasonable suspicion’ for the search.... It is not certain from a fair reading of the opinion whether this requirement is present only because- the case involved a juvenile arrestee. Indeed, given that the juvenile in that case was not going to be placed in a cell, Peachtree is not exactly persuasive authority on this issue. In any event, however, this court will not read the Eleventh Circuit’s decision to require that some heightened justification be present for a jail official to search a new inmate before they are placed in lockup with other prisoners.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“If the Supreme Court can approve a strip search and body cavity search procedure on detainees who have had a contact visit with the public, ... surely this court must approve the present search. Likewise, if the Eleventh Circuit can approve strip-searches of juveniles who are not even going to be placed into a cell, this court should approve the present search.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“basing its opinion on the Sheriff's decision to allow the inmates to keep on their underwear. The constitutional balancing of the inmate's rights and jail's concerns does not necessarily turn on the issue of whether the inmates are allowed to wear a bra and panties.”
