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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A mere encounter between police and a citizen need not be supported by any level of suspicion, and carries] no official compulsion on the part of the citizen to stop or to respond. An investigatory stop, which subjects a suspect to a -stop and a period of detention ... requires a reasonable suspicion that criminal activity is afoot. A custodial search is an arrest and must be supported by probable cause. -”
