One of the most common motions filed by a defense attorney, other than a bail motion is a motion to suppress evidence. The purpose of a motion to suppress is to keep the State from using illegally obtained evidence. Not every motion will be successful, but in my experience a good number of them are. Police do not always follow the law. Just like any job they get comfortable and cut corners.
Given the situation of the search a motion could cause your case to be dismissed if it is won. I have won several motions to suppress and I enjoy holding the police accountable. Understand that a motion to suppress will take time. Officers need to be questioned and briefs need to be written.
