Can a criminal defendant make a suppression motion at the time of the preliminary hearing?

Section 1538.5 affords criminal defendants "'a comprehensive and exclusive procedure'" for seeking to suppress illegally seized evidence prior to trial. (People v. Romeo (2015) 240 Cal.App.4th 931, 940.) A suppression motion may be made, as it was here, at the time of the preliminary hearing before the magistrate. (People v. Brooks (1980) 26 Cal.3d 471, 476; 1538.5, subd. (f).) If the defendant is held to answer at the preliminary hearing, he or she may renew the suppression motion in the superior court at a special de novo hearing. (People v. Brooks, supra, at p. 476; 1538.5, subd. (i).)
