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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In order to conduct a warrantless, investigatory stop, an officer must have reasonable and articulable suspicion of criminal activity. The stop must be based on specific and articulable facts,, as well as the rational inferences from those facts, as viewed through the eyes of a reasonable, cautious officer, guided by his experience and training. The only requirement is a minimal level of objective justification, something more than an unparticularized suspicion or hunch. The officer’s reasonable suspicion must arise from his knowledge prior to the time of the stop.”
