What is the name of your state? Massachusetts
Can someone give me an example of a motion to supress that I may use as a guideline to write one pertenent to my case?
I was pulled over for a traffic violation. Officer stated he found an "open pack" of cigarettes at the foot of the driver during an inventory search.
Under Comm v. Alvarado 420 Mass.542,553,651 N.E. 2d 824 (1995) I believe the evidence is fruit of a poisonous tree because an inventory search is non-investagatory and even if the local police's policy has a stipulation for closed containors I do not believe that he was looking for valuables in an empty pack of cigarettes on the floor.
Any advice would be helpful.
Thanks
