14search warrant for the seizure of the following:
15        (1) Any instruments, articles or things designed or

3or used in the ordinary course of business, and in the
4possession, custody, or control of any person known to be
5engaged in the gathering or dissemination of news for the print
6or broadcast media, no judge may issue a search warrant unless
7the requirements set forth in subsection (a) are satisfied and
8there is probable cause to believe that:
9        (1) such person has committed or is committing a
10    criminal offense; or
11        (2) the things to be seized will be destroyed or
12    removed from the State if the search warrant is not issued.
13    (c) Upon the written complaint of a person under oath or
14affirmation which states facts sufficient to show probable

18means an electronic or mechanical device which permits the
19tracking of the movement of a person or object. A tracking
20device search warrant must identify the person or property to
21be tracked, if known, designate the judge to whom it must be
22returned, and specify a reasonable length of time that the
23device may be used. The time must not exceed 45 days from the
24date the tracking device search warrant was issued. The court
25may, for good cause, grant one or more extensions for a
26reasonable period not to exceed 45 days each. The warrant may
