Most-quoted passages

“whether it was reasonably related in scope to the circumstances which justified the interference in the first place.”
7 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“"`[W]e must consider, as an initial matter, whether the question is related to the initial justification for the stop. If the question is reasonably related to the purpose of the stop, no fourth[-]amendment violation occurs. If the question is not reasonably related to the purpose of the stop, we must consider whether the law[-]enforcement officer had a reasonable, articulable suspicion that would justify the question. If the question is so justified, no fourth[-]amendment violation occurs. In the absence of a reasonable connection to the purpose of the stop or a reasonable, articulable suspicion, we must consider whether, in light of all the circumstances and common sense, the question impermissibly prolonged the detention or changed the fundamental nature of the stop.'" Bunch, 207 Ill.2d at 16 , 277 Ill.Dec. 658 , 796 N.E.2d at 1030 , quoting Gonzalez, 204 Ill.2d at 235 , 273 Ill.Dec. 360 , 789 N.E.2d at 270 .”
5 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“Because a traffic stop is more analogous to a Terry investigative stop (see Terry v. Ohio, 392 U.S. 1 , 88 S.Ct. 1868 , 20 L.Ed.2d 889 (1968)) than to a formal arrest, the reasonableness of a traffic stop is analyzed under Terry principles.”
