Brett-
MA might be different, but in PA, traffic tickets are technically a criminal
matter- they are heard
initially before a magistrate, but if you appeal the finding, you go to
Common Pleas and deal with a
district attorney, who would not be present in a civil case, unless it
involved the Commonwealth in a
non-criminal matter, in which case it would be handled in Commonwealth
Court.

I know that Lee is talking about MA, but we don't all live in the same
Commonwealth.
