    Investigators found two hard drives containing thousands of images of child pornography in Burgess' motor home after a traffic stop last summer in western Wyoming. A jury convicted Burgess in April on both charges against him.

    Burgess' attorney says he will appeal the case.

But what during a traffic stop would make them interested in confiscating and reviewing two hard drives? (I am sure they did not have the hardware in the cruisers to make this discovery on scene.) Again glad to see this guy locked up - but concerned over civil liberties.
