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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In the instant case Officer Cantillo, the arresting officer, was highly experienced and often involved in drug related arrests. He was well acquainted with the neighborhood in which the arrest took place. He testified that on the date in question he observed a young man walk up to the defendant, who was standing on the corner of West Flagler Street and Seventh Avenue, and hand him (the defendant) a stack of small brown packets, each packet being 2" by 3" in size. The defendant placed the packets, secured by rubber bands, into his jacket pocket. Officer Cantillo exited from his patrol car, retrieved the packets from the defendant's pocket and placed him under arrest. Cantillo further testified that cannabis is often distributed in packets similar to those he had taken from the defendant and he believed a drug sale was in progress. Under the totality of the circumstances, Officer Cantillo had probable cause to believe that the packets contained cannabis (marijuana) and a narcotics sale was in progress. Thus, the trial judge was correct in denying the motion to suppress.”
