The Motion to Suppress Timeline Template

A 4-page printable PDF for building the suppression motion from the discovery itself. Log the moment, the file and the words while you review, so the motion writes itself from a timeline instead of from memory. Template only; no legal opinion.

What's inside

01
The timeline columns
Time, source file, verbatim words, who, the issue in one word, what the report says, and whether they conflict. The log that makes every sentence in the motion citable.
02
The twenty moments worth a timestamp
Stop initiation and duration, consent wording and scope, custody and warnings, invocations, camera gaps, and where the footage and the report disagree.
03
The worksheet for the moment that matters
One page for the single moment the motion turns on: the time, the file, the words, the report's version, and what has to be true for the issue to hold.

A template, not legal advice. It records facts in an order that makes them arguable. It does not say what any court will do with them. The companion guide, how to build a motion to suppress from body cam, explains each column.
