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 fact that a defendant is not free to leave does not necessarily constitute custody for purposes of Miranda .”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“In Berkemer v. McCarty, 468 U.S. 420, 439-40 , 82 L. Ed. 2d 317, 334-35 (1984) the United States Supreme Court held that a motorist subject to a traffic stop who is asked to leave his car is not in custody for purposes of Miranda and roadside questioning under those circumstances is permissible. . . . The Supreme Court also found that the noncoercive aspect of ordinary traffic stops prompted it to hold that a pat-down search pursuant to Terry v. Ohio does not invoke the Miranda rule even though the person may be detained and questioned concerning an officer’s suspicions in a manner that may amount to a seizure under the Fourth Amendment.”
