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 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Appellant contends that this was an “investigative stop” and that there was no information available to justify the intrusion . . . We disagree. This was not an investigative stop. The appellant was not “stopped” by the officer nor was the appellant detained in any manner by the officer until the marihuana was discovered. [Citations omitted.]”
