Rail agent’s courtroom defeat over radar speeding ticket
Los Angeles man Alois Wendell Patsch, 58, challenged a radar speeding citation in a municipal court.

Judge DeVries sustained objections to conclusions and dismissed the charge amid Patsch’s insistence Vehicle Code sections 510 and 112 protect careful drivers.
