The following excerpt is from People v. Valenzuela, 150 Cal.Rptr. 314, 86 Cal.App.3d 427 (Cal. App. 1978):
A dismissal would not remedy the officer's error or redress the pre-arraignment detention. An automatic grant of immunity to the suspected offender would be nothing but a reprisal against the public at [86 Cal.App.3d 432] large for the officer's neglect. This is a sanction which our courts have declined to impose for illegal or excessive detention. (See, e. g., People v. Bradford, supra, 70 Cal.2d 333, 344, 74 Cal.Rptr. 726, 450 P.2d 46.)
