Nico Lowers, of Raleigh, is serving an eight-year prison sentence after pleading guilty last year to transporting and possessing child pornography. Lowers argues on appeal the case was tainted by an improper search of images that Google obtained from his Google Drive and sent to the National Center for Missing &amp; Exploited Children (NCMEC).
