1. “"situations can and do arise in which a private citizen's conduct in pursuing his or her own search and seizure may become so intertwined with the conduct of a state actor that the private citizen's actions are essentially those of the state and should be subject to constitutional restrictions on state searches and seizures."”

2. “"our cases make clear that Article I, section 9, is a restriction on government searches and seizures, not private ones. Government generally acts, of course, through government employees, but it may also act through nonemployee agents, and searches or seizures by those agents are subject to constitutional protections."”
