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 21 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Based upon the foregoing, we find that [Lalumiere] had probable cause to believe that [appellee] was committing an offense involving concealed contraband and to place [appellee] under arrest. It was not necessary for [Lalumiere] to know the exact nature of the suspicious bulge for probable cause to exist. `Probable cause need not be defined in relation to any one particular element, but may exist because of the totality of circumstances surrounding a transaction. (Cits.)' Cook v. State, 136 Ga. App. 908, 909 (1) ( 222 SE2d 656 ) (1975). See also Aguero, [supra].”
