Most-quoted passages

““[Where a police] officers’ conduct was governed by the ... settled standards for the search of property and seizure of a suspect ... those standards do not require officials to possess an airtight case before taking action. The pieces of an investigative puzzle will often fail to neatly fit, and the officers must be given leeway to draw reasonable conclusions from confusing and contradictory information, free of the apprehension that every mistaken search or seizure will present a triable issue of probable cause.” (citation omitted).”
