You make the motion to suppress under Penal Code 1538.5 by hiring a lawyer who has filed motions to suppress in the past, and who knows what he or she is doing.

Re: Motion to Surpress

In a nutshell, a motion to suppress is based upon disallowing evidence that was improperly seized due to an illegal search by law enforcement, or those acting under "color of law enforcement". There are procedural guidelines you must follow in drafting and filing such a motion, and attorney assistance in this matter would be invaluable to you.

Re: Motion to Surpress

Good reasons are based on the particular facts you allege support evidence suppression. The good way to make the motion is in compliance will all the court statutes, procedures and court rules that dictate how, when and where it is done. A successful motion requires legal writing skills, knowledge of the rules and facts, and the ability to present and argue the motion in court, with whatever evidence and witnesses are necessary. Now that you know what it takes, call me if interested in getting it done correctly.
