What is a Motion? In the simplest of terms, a motion is asking a judge to do something. It can be as simple as asking the judge to approve a Defendant’s travel out of state or as complex as having the judge order the suppression of certain evidence like a breath card. In criminal defense suppression motions are a valuable tool in challenging the State’s evidence. They are used after witness interviews, to challenge whether a stop was reasonable or an arrest was based on probable cause. Many times it forces the State to justify the actions of law enforcement.
