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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(2) Whenever any law enforcement officer of the state encounters any person under circumstances which reasonably indicate that such person has committed, is committing, or is about to commit a violation of the criminal laws of this state ... he may temporarily detain such person for the purpose of ascertaining the identity of the person temporarily detained and the circumstances surrounding his presence abroad which led the officer to believe that he had committed, was committing, or was about to commit a criminal offense. [[Image here]] (4) If at any time after the onset of the temporary detention authorized by subsection (2), probable cause for the arrest of the person shall appear, the person shall be arrested. If after an inquiry into the circumstances which prompted the temporary detention no probable cause for the arrest of the person shall appear, he shall be released.”
