Challenging Search Warrant Validity

Summary

A motion to suppress is a legal request to exclude evidence in a criminal case, often due to rights violations. In Maryland, it can be used if evidence was obtained without a valid search warrant, if Miranda rights were not read, or if the search and seizure were unreasonable. An anonymous tip alone is usually insufficient for a search warrant without corroboration. Being present at a crime scene does not automatically imply guilt but can contribute to probable cause. Consult a criminal defense attorney for specific advice.
