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 35 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[t]he narrow scope of the Terry exception [to the warrant requirement] permits an officer to briefly detain, for limited questioning, a person whom he reasonably suspects of criminal activity and to frisk the person for weapons if he has reasonable grounds to believe the person to be armed and presently dangerous. The suspicion of dangerousness must focus particularly on the individual searched, not simply upon the area in which he is found.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“when doubt as to the correct identity of the subject of [a valid arrest] warrant arises, the arresting officer [must] make immediate reasonable efforts to confirm or deny the applicability of the warrant to the detained individual.”
