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 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““There we held that the police pursuit, with siren blaring, of a bicyclist required some articulable facts leading to reasonable suspicion prior to the start of pursuit because in those circumstances, the stop (and seizure) began when the pursuit commenced. The claim of police ‘pursuit’ by the defendant, however, is not a talis-manic formula for converting all police investigation into a stop and seizure (emphasis supplied). ... In this case there was no evidence of pursuit in the sense that the term was used in Thibeau . The [plainclothes] detectives merely followed the defendant into a public rest room where they both had a right to be.””
