Justice Sandra Day O'Connor citing Mr Rosazza in Atwater v. City of Lago Vista
Referring to the jail intake and booking process: "Because people arrested for all types of violent and non-violent offenses may be housed together awaiting such a review, this detention period is potentially dangerous."

"Certainly, there would seem to be a constitutional issue here in that these people are being deprived of their freedom without any legal authority,..." referring to prisoners held beyond their release dates.
