From the New Haven Register:

The large database compiled by Secretary of the State Susan Bysiewicz, which is the subject of a whistleblower complaint, appears to violate a statute that forbids disclosing the home addresses of public safety and court personnel.

A review of the 36,000 names kept by her office includes more than 750 firefighters, as well as a handful of police, at least two correction officers, one high-level prosecutor and two public defenders, whose home addresses are also listed.

Sec. 1-217 of state statutes forbids any public agency from disclosing, under the Freedom of Information Act, the residential addresses of judges, firefighters, sworn members of a police department, an employee of the Department of Correction, an attorney who represents the state in a criminal prosecution, public defenders and employees in the judicial branch, among others.
