Syllabus

Search and seizure, manifest weight of the evidence, inconsistent verdicts, disproportionate sentences, merger, firearm specification, weapon while under disability. The officers had probable cause to stop appellant's vehicle for committing a traffic offense and to search the vehicle after observing drugs and guns in plain view and the verdict was not against the manifest weight of the evidence. The exoneration of appellant's codefendant did not constitute an inconsistent verdict. Sentences between two codefendants are not disproportionate where one defendant is determined to be not guilty. A firearm specification and the charge of having a weapon while under disability are not allied offenses.
