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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

  1. “The State's contention that [a passenger] has no standing to object to the stop or resulting search is incorrect. The United States and Florida Constitutions forbid unreasonable searches and seizures. U.S. Const. amend. IV; Fla. Const. art. I, § 12. The Florida supreme court held in State v. Jones, 483 So.2d 433 (Fla. 1986), that `[u]nquestionably, stopping an automobile and detaining its occupant constitutes a seizure within the meaning of the fourth amendment to the United States Constitution.' 483 So.2d at 435 . Regardless of any expectation of privacy, Adams clearly has standing to object to the stop of the vehicle in which he was riding since that stop resulted in his seizure. State v. Scott, 481 So.2d 40 (Fla. 3d DCA 1985); State v. Beja, 451 So.2d 882 (Fla. 4th DCA 1984).”

  2. “Officer Ethridge had probable cause to believe a crime was being committed and he had probable cause to believe that Adams was hiding evidence of that crime in his mouth. If he had not forced Adams's mouth open, Adams easily could have swallowed the cocaine, resulting in the destruction of the evidence and, quite possibly, Adams's death.”
