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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[T]he anonymous tip contained no detailed information demonstrating the caller's ability to predict [the individual's] future behavior, and thus contained no information from which the police could have reason to believe the tipster was not only honest but also well informed enough to justify the stop ... [and the officer’s] knowledge that the address was in a high drug trafficking area [failed to corroborate] the anonymous tipster's information so as to impart a degree of reliability to the other allegations made by the caller.”
