A number of states, including PA and WA, have privacy provisions in their consts. similar to CA's, and some good things have come from this. On another level, such good things have been an affair of the tendency for state supreme courts to be somewhat more progressive than the US Supremes and the Fed. Const. itself, in the privacy area. There are some good specific examples.
