Description Louisiana Motion Suppress

This is a memorandum from an attorney for the defendant to a judge regarding a Motion to Suppress Pursuant to Article 703 of La. C.Cr.P. The memo presents the argument that the defendant’s rights were violated when a state trooper made an illegal stop of the defendant’s vehicle and then made an illegal search and seizure. The vehicle was stopped for the sole violation of La. R.S. 47:507 (improper display of plates) because said vehicle did not display a license plate on front of vehicle. The memorandum points out that the regulation actually requires the license plate to be attached to the rear of a vehicle, and not the front.
