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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"The United States Supreme Court held in Terry v. Ohio , 392 U.S. 1 , 88 S.Ct. 1868 , 20 L.Ed.2d 889 (1968) that a police officer may in appropriate circumstances and in an appropriate manner approach a person for investigating possible criminal behavior even though there is no probable cause to arrest. Of course the police officer must be able to point out `specific and articulable facts which, taken together with rational inferences from those facts, reasonably warrant that intrusion.'"”
