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 police had no specific and legitimate basis to continue to detain defendant. We find, based on the record, that the arrest occurred when the officers handcuffed defendant in the third-floor apartment. The officer testified to that effect [citation], and the show of authority by the three uniformed, armed police officers would permit a reasonable person to conclude that once he was handcuffed by the armed police officers he was not free to leave.” Delaware, 314 Ill. App. 3d at 371 , 731 N.E.2d at 912 .”
