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 31 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Appellant contends that even if the stop was justified, his handcuffing by Officer Middleton transformed that stop into an “arrest.” That arrest was illegal, appellant claims, because the officer did not have, at that time, probable cause to arrest him. We disagree for three reasons. First, the handcuffing of appellant 'was justifiable as a, protective and flight preventive measure pursuant to a lawful stop and did not necessarily transform, that stop into an arrest.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“As to the failure to advise appellant that he was free to leave, we note that this factor has been cited as a consideration principally in three situations: (1) where police have requested the subject’s consent to a search; (2) where police have asked the subject to change his or her location to facilitate questioning .... Obviously, none of these circumstances exist in the case sub judice. No request was made by the investigating officer in the instant case to search appellant nor did the officer request that he change his location. ... In each of these ... instances, a police advisement was arguably warranted. The right to decline a warrantless search of one’s person or property is a fundamental right. A request by police to accompany them to a more isolated or coercive setting is by its very nature suspect, unless of course the subject is advised he or she is free to go.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“[Ajppellant was never asked by Officer Middleton ... to change his location as Ferris was. The entire encounter took place at precisely the same spot. In Ferris , the Court of Appeals was particularly troubled by that aspect of the Ferris encounter. ... In the instant case, however, no request was made that appellant take any action except to answer a few questions.”
