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 1 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“As automobile stops constitute seizures, officers must have at least a reasonable suspicion that the motorist has violated the law or probable cause to believe the motorist has done so. Reasonable suspicion exists when a reasonable person in the officer’s position would be justified by some objective manifestation to suspect potential criminal activity. It is well settled, traffic violations, even if considered common or minor, constitute prohibited conduct which provide officers with requisite suspicion for conducting investigatory stops.”
