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

1. “an informant's "reliability" and "basis of knowledge" are but two relevant considerations, among others, in determining the existence of probable cause under "a totality-of-the-cireumstances." They are not strict, independent requirements to be "rigidly exacted" in every case. A weak ness in one or the other is not fatal to the warrant so long as in the totality there is substantial basis to find probable cause. The indicia of veracity, reliability, and basis of knowledge are nonexclusive elements to be evaluated in reaching the practical, common-sense decision whether, given all the cireumstances, there is a fair probability that the contraband will be found in the place described.”
