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 425 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“we are bound by the trial court's findings of historical fact unless `plainly wrong' or without evidence to support them.”
16 later decisions quote this exact passage““[T]he burden is upon [the appellant] to show that th[e] ruling, when the evidence is considered most favorably to the Commonwealth, constituted reversible error.” “Ultimate questions of ... probable cause to make a warrantless ... [arrest]” involve questions of both law and fact and are reviewed de novo on appeal.

6 later decisions quote this exact passage“First, there are consensual encounters that do not implicate the Fourth Amendment. Iglesias [v. Commonwealth], 7 Va.App. [93,] 99, 372 S.E.2d [170,] 173 [(1988)]. Next, there are brief investigatory stops, commonly referred to as “Terry ” stops, which must be based upon reasonable, articulable suspicion that criminal activity is or may be afoot. United States v. Sokolow, 490 U.S. 1, 7 , 109 S.Ct. 1581, 1585 , 104 L.Ed.2d 1 (19[8]9). Finally, there are “highly intrusive, full-scale arrests” or searches that must be based upon probable cause to believe that the suspect has committed a crime. Id.; see also Wechsler v. Commonwealth, 20 Va. App. 162, 169 , 455 S.E.2d 744, 746-47 (1995).”
