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 46 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[T]he search of the passenger compartment of an automobile, limited to those areas in which a weapon may be placed or hidden, is permissible if the police officer possesses a reasonable belief based on "specific and articulable facts which, taken together with the rational inferences from those facts, reasonably warrant" the officer[] in believing that the suspect is dangerous and the suspect may gain immediate control of weapons.”
5 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Johnson · State v. Anagnos“'would be warranted in the belief that his safety and that of others was in danger 1 because the individual may be armed with a weapon and dangerous.”
5 later decisions quote this exact passage“[I]n determining whether the officer acted reasonably in such circumstances, due weight must be given, not to [the officer's] inchoate and unparticularized suspicion or 'hunch,' but to the specific reasonable inferences which he [or she] is entitled to draw from the facts in light of his [or her] experience.”
