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.
“While the stop may not be the product of mere whim, caprice or idle curiosity, it is enough that the stop is based upon “specific and articulable facts which taken together with rational inferences from those facts, reasonably warrant the intrusion.” State v. Herrboldt, 1999 SD 55, ¶ 7 , 593 N.W.2d 805, 808 (quoting Spenner v. City of Sioux Falls, 1998 SD 56, ¶ 14 , 580 N.W.2d 606, 611 ). Under these standards, it is well established that a traffic violation, however minor, creates sufficient cause to stop the driver of a vehicle.” Whren v. United States, 517 U.S. 806, 810 , 116 S.Ct. 1769, 1772 , 135 L.Ed.2d 89 , 95-[96] (1996); State v. Kenyon, 2002 SD 111, ¶ 16 , 651 N.W.2d 269, 274 .”
