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 21 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““. . . Circumstances can ‘reasonably indicate’ that a person has committed, is committing, or is about to commit” a violation of criminal laws or ordinances without necessarily indicating that high probability of guilt which is implied by the term probable cause. ... To justify temporary detention, only “founded suspicion” in the mind of the detaining officer is required. ... A founded suspicion is a suspicion which has some factual foundation in the circumstances observed by the officer, when those circumstances are interpreted in the light of the officer’s knowledge. ‘Mere’ or ‘bare’ suspicion, on the other hand, cannot support detention . . . Mere suspicion is no better than guesswork, or hunch, and has no objective justification. . . . (citations omitted)”
