Traffic tickets in many states are criminal violations. Here in Maryland, for example, there are no civil infractions except for automated red light cameras. Even a normal speeding ticket is a misdemeanor criminal conviction.

A speeding ticket is a misdemeanor criminal conviction.

This beggars belief. Can you provide sources or citations. Quick googling finds no references to this absolutely implausible scenario.
