State of Connecticut v. Dennis Kono — Espinosa, J., Dissenting

Summary

Justice Espinosa dissented from the conclusion that police violated the state constitution by using a drug-detection dog in the shared hallway of the defendant's condominium. She reasoned that a canine sniff is not equivalent to sophisticated surveillance technology and that the shared hallway was not curtilage, so the sniff did not constitute a search under either the federal or state constitution. No separate opinion was provided.
