The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

1. “[t]he C.I. . . . had never been used by the investigating officers before. He was arrested earlier on the day of these events and, after giving information concerning his drug supplier, was released. By arrangement with the officers, the C.I. used a pay phone to call a pager number that he said belonged to his supplier. The call was returned, and the C.I. stated to the officers that a man named Rolo would arrive at an agreed location to sell him drugs in about fifteen minutes.... The C.I. told the officers where Rolo lived, that he would be driving a maroon Buick with a tan top, and there would be drugs under the seat on the driver's side of the car.”
