Ramirez<\/a>, 2013 IL App (4th) 121153, 996 N.E.2d 1227 (2013):<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<blockquote><p> [*P56]  Throughout this opinion, we have advisedly put the term &#8220;motion to quash arrest&#8221; in quotation marks so as to avoid giving any legitimacy to such a motion. In fact, such motions possess none. &#8220;Motions to quash arrest&#8221; are nowhere recognized in the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 (Code) (see 725 ILCS 5\/100-1 through 122-7 (West 2010)). Defendant&#8217;s &#8220;motion to quash arrest&#8221; stated that it was being made pursuant to section 114-12 of the Code (725 ILCS 5\/114-12 (West 2010)), but that is clearly wrong. That section, which is entitled &#8220;Motion to Suppress Evidence Illegally Seized,&#8221; sets forth the procedure to be used when a defendant, who is &#8220;aggrieved by an unlawful search and seizure,&#8221; seeks to suppress the evidence that the police obtained as the result thereof. 725 ILCS 5\/114-12(a) (West 2010). That section contains no reference to &#8220;quashing arrests.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> [*P57]  This court recently had occasion to discuss why the filing of a &#8220;motion to quash arrest&#8221; makes no sense.
