AC47644 - Maner v. Commissioner of Correction (“He claims on appeal, inter alia, that (1) the court improperly denied his freestanding constitutional claim, which asserted that the police had illegally obtained records containing his historical cell site location information (CSLI) in violation of his rights under the fourth amendment to the United States constitution, (2) the 2016 amendments to General Statutes § 54-47aa contained in Public Acts 2016, No. 16-148, § 1 (2016 amendments), which require the police to obtain a warrant based on probable cause before obtaining historical CSLI, should apply retroactively in the present case, (3) certain CSLI obtained by the police did not comply with General Statutes (Rev. to 2007) § 54-47aa, and (4) the court incorrectly concluded that any error in the admission of the petitioner’s CSLI was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt. For the reasons that follow, we reject the petitioner’s claims and, accordingly, affirm the judgment of the court.”)
