It's gonna depend on location. Cop in the rich white suburbs might spend all day writing traffic tickets (civil), cop in the urban ghetto might spend all day investigating armed robbery (criminal).

A traffic ticket is not a civil offense. At least in Texas, it's a Class C Misdemeanor in the penal code.
