Search and Seizure — warrantless searches — plain view

William C. Bunch appeals a judgment convicting him of possession of a firearm by a felon. The trial court denied Bunch’s motion to suppress the gun found in his car during a traffic stop, ruling that the plain-view exception justified its seizure. Bunch argues that the trial court made insufficient factual findings and that it applied an incorrect legal standard in determining witness credibility. We reject his arguments and affirm. This opinion will not be published.
