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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““the reasonableness of such a seizure [of an automobile] depends on the balance between the public interest in law enforcement and the individual’s right to personal security free from aribtrary action by law officers. More specifically in a case like this one [involving the stop of a single vehicle by a roving patrol] the competing considerations are the State’s compelling interest in maintaining safety on the public highways and the motorist’s reasonable expectation of privacy when he is traveling on these highways in his automobile.””
