On a summer night in 2002,
a Nassau police detective secretly
planted an electronic tracking device
on the undercarriage of a car driven
by a Lawrence man suspected of a
string of burglaries.

For nearly a month,
every car trip taken by Richard D. Lacey,
27, a security guard, was recorded by
the tracking device --

a global positioning system
commonly known as GPS.

Lacey didn't have a clue.
