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

1. “Whether or not [James'] challenge to the [underlying] convictions has merit, at the time of the [322.34(5) ] charge, the DMV records accurately reflected the existence of three prior convictions. Even if Mr. James is successful in vacating his [underlying] conviction, the DMV records would be affected only from the date that the conviction was set aside . . . [and] therefore, would not impact the facts as they were when Mr. James was stopped. . . . At that time, the DMV records accurately reflected the habitual traffic offender designation.”
