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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[W]hen an informant appears before a judge or magistrate and testifies under oath concerning personal observations, there is no comparable need for extrinsic corroboration of the informant’s veracity: the presiding judge or magistrate is able to observe the informant’s demeanor, is capable of questioning the informant, and is provided further assurance by the fact that the informant’s testimony is under oath.”
