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 87 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In some circumstances ... police officers without reasonable suspicion of criminal activity are allowed to intrude on a person's privacy to carry out 'community caretaking' functions to enhance public safety.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“"Nothing in the Fourth Amendment requires that the 'specific and articulable facts' relate to suspected criminal activity. ... If we were to insist upon suspicion of activity amounting to a criminal or civil infraction to meet the [Terry] standard, we would be overlooking the police officer's legitimate role as a public servant to assist those in distress and to maintain and foster public safety."”
