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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““(a) A person who knowingly or intentionally: “(1) forcibly resists, obstructs, or interferes with a law enforcement officer or a person assisting the officer while the officer is lawfully engaged in the execution of his duties as an officer; “(2) forcibly resists, obstructs, or interferes with the authorized service or execution of a civil or criminal process or order of a court; or “(3) flees from a law enforcement officer after the officer has, by visible or audible means, identified himself and ordered the person to stop; “commits resisting law enforcement, a Class A misdemeanor, except as provided in subsection (b). “(b) The offense under subsection (a) is a: “(1) Class D felony if: “(A) the offense is described in subsection (a)(3) and the person uses a vehicle to commit the offense; or “(B) while committing any offense described in subsection (a), the person draws or uses a deadly weapon, inflicts bodily injury on another person, or operates a vehicle in a manner that creates a substantial risk of bodily injury to another person; “(2) Class C felony if, while committing any offense described in subsection (a), the person operates a vehicle in a manner that causes serious bodily injury to another person; and “(3) Class B felony if, while committing any offense described in subsection (a), the person operates a vehicle in a manner that causes the death of another person.””
