holding, under a state constitutional provision more protective than the Fourth Amendment, that police may not use a mobile tracking device without a warrant
noting that the \intrusion into private affairs” from a device producing a record of our travels is \quite extensive”

noting “[w]here a law enforcement officer is able to detect something at a lawful vantage point through his or her senses, no search occurs under article I section 7”
attaching a global positioning system (GPS) device to a person’s car is a search, in part because “[i\\n this age, vehicles are used to take people to a vast number of places that can reveal preferences, alignments, associations, personal ails and foibles” (emphasis added)
