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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"The law is well-established that a police officer may make an investigative stop if he has a `founded suspicion' that an individual is involved in criminal activity (citation omitted). Further, while the drug courier profile by itself provides no probable cause to arrest an individual, a set of facts may arise in which the existence of certain profile characteristics constitutes reasonable suspicion to warrant the intrusion of an investigative stop." Id. at 1008 . [emphasis added].”
