Motion to suppress
In
common law
legal systems, a
motion to suppress
is a formal, written request to a
judge
for an order that certain
evidence
be excluded from consideration by the judge or
jury
at
trial
. In the
United States
, the term "motion to suppress" typically encompasses
motions
in
criminal
cases where the proposed basis for exclusion arises from the
United States Constitution
, a
state constitution
, or a specific
statute
permitting the exclusion of certain types of evidence (for instance, a complaint that
police
procedures in a given case violated the
defendant's
Fourth Amendment
right
to be free from unreasonable
searches and seizures
).
