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 68 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“... he arrested defendant because he “appeared very intoxicated.” Defendant was in a “very high-crime neighborhood.” According to the officer’s testimony, the area was plagued with “a lot of drug activity, ... shootings and homicides [and] robberies.” Officer Parker testified he wanted to remove him from the area for defendant’s own safety. Additionally, Officer Parker stated, “I didn’t want him to wander off into traffic and get hit by a car, ... to get robbed.””
