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 36 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“These statements of an eyewitness placing defendant at the scene of the crime were sufficient to form the basis for a custodial detention (see, e. g., People v. Morales, 42 N.Y.2d 129 , 135-136, 397 N.Y.S.2d 587 , 590-591, 366 N.E.2d 248 , 251-252). So long as the police are solicitous of an- individual’s rights, and carefully delimit the scope of the intrusion, a custodial detention predicated upon reasonable suspicion can hardly be termed “unreasonable” (People v. Morales, supra). On this record, therefore, defendant’s pretrial suppression motion was correctly denied.”
