“We do not reach the merits of these claims. Even if we were to consider them and resolve them in defendant’s favor, such a determination would not invalidate the convictions. “An illegal arrest, without more, has never been viewed as a bar to a subsequent prosecution, nor as a defense to a valid conviction.” The remedy for an unlawful arrest is the suppression of evidence obtained thereby.”
