“While the sole justification for the ‘pat-down’ search pursuant to an investigative stop is to discover weapons that could be used for an assault, Terry, 88 S.Ct. at 1884 , it is clear that other evidence discovered in the course of such a search can be seized. Sibron [v. New York, 392 U.S. 40 ], 88 S.Ct. [1889] at 1905 [ 20 L.Ed.2d 917 (1968)] (White, J., concurring) and 88 S.Ct. at 1910 (Harlan, J., concurring). The cameras found on appellant’s person in this case were properly admitted into evidence.”
