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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“It is beyond dispute that information furnished to a law enforcement officer by an informant, together with the officer’s personal knowledge, may serve as the basis of probable cause for a warrantless arrest and search incident to that arrest if the trial court is informed “with specificity what the inform[ant] actually -said, and why the officer thought the information was credible, and the court is satisfied such information was sufficiently reliable and reasonably trustworthy to give the officer, as a prudent man, probable cause to believe that the accused had committed or was committing, a felony.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“failed to serve as sufficient corroboration to establish reliability.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“methamphetamines were being transported in Pennsylvania along Interstate 81 by a white male wearing an “Indiana Jones” style hat and a white female, both occupying an automobile of a specific year, make, model and color with Pennsylvania tags____it might well be questionable whether confirmation of that information would have justified even an investigatory stop.”
