Q: where can I find any cases where a motion to suppress was won using Gov. Abbott wavier to car registration during Covid
I was pulled over for an expired registration but, it was during Covid and we didn’t have to register our car because of the Gov’s waiver during a state of emergency. I was arrested for something found in the car after I got pulled over.

Its just not that simple to suppress evidence. If you want to actually accomplish suppression of evidence, I strongly encourage you to hire an attorney.

The registration requirement was only was waived from 3/16/20 through 4/14/21.
Good luck
A: You should probably research motions to suppress on Westlaw or Lexis. It’s such narrow window of time when that COVID order was in force, you may not find any
