Here, the police had more corroboration than in <a href=\"http:\/\/caselaw.lp.findlaw.com\/scripts\/getcase.pl?navby=case&amp;court=us&amp;vol=496&amp;page=325\">White<\/a>. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.state.il.us\/court\/Opinions\/AppellateCourt\/2009\/2ndDistrict\/July\/2070065.pdf\">People v. Payne<\/a>, 393 Ill. App. 3d 175, 912 N.E.2d 301, 332 Ill. Dec. 115 (2009)*:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The facts of this case are even stronger than the facts in White because in this case, the police knew the informant&#8217;s identity and knew that he had provided them with reliable information the day before. Further, the facts of this case are remarkably similar to the facts in both <a href=\"http:\/\/caselaw.lp.findlaw.com\/scripts\/getcase.pl?court=us&amp;vol=459&amp;invol=1028\">Gates<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/caselaw.lp.findlaw.com\/scripts\/getcase.pl?navby=case&amp;court=us&amp;vol=392&amp;page=1\">Draper<\/a>, in which the stricter probable cause standard was necessary in order to defeat the defendants&#8217; motions to suppress. Certainly, considering the totality of the circumstances and the lower level of suspicion necessary to perform a <a href=\"http:\/\/caselaw.lp.findlaw.com\/scripts\/getcase.pl?navby=case&amp;court=us&amp;vol=392&amp;page=1\">Terry<\/a> stop, the State sufficiently established that the officers had a reasonable suspicion to make the initial investigatory stop.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Generally, a warrant based on probable cause is required to search a person&#8217;s home, and probable cause requires some nexus between the alleged criminal activity and the place to be searched. However, this nexus requirement does not apply to the search of a parolee&#8217;s home when the parole officer has reasonable suspicion to believe that the parolee has violated a condition of his or her release and the parolee has been informed that he or she is subject to property searches based on reasonable suspicion of a parole violation.  The degree of reliability necessary to support a parole search based on reasonable suspicion of a parole violation, like the parolee&#8217;s expectation of privacy, is greatly diminished. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kscourts.org\/Cases-and-Opinions\/opinions\/ctapp\/2009\/20090619\/101061.htm\">State v.
