April 27, 2007).*<\/p>\n<p>Search warrant for defendant&#8217;s property was lawfully issued after a chat between defendant and an investigator for PervertedJustice.com. The officer sought to and did corroborate who the screenname belonged to and its location by subpoenas to internet providers.  State v.

This, the court reasoned, provided officers with reasonable suspicion that defendant was armed and dangerous. <em>Id.<\/em> (&#8216;you darn well bet the police officers are going to stop and frisk for their own protection under those circumstances;). The trial court then denied defendant&#8217;s motion to suppress.&#8221;  The judgment was affirmed based on reasonable suspicion. State v.
