這是定義.
municipal court n. a lower court which usually tries criminal misdemeanors and civil lawsuits involving lesser amounts of money than superior, district or county courts. The authority, importance and geographical area covered differ from state to state. In California, municipal courts have county-wide jurisdiction, conduct preliminary hearings of felonies, and try cases up to $25,000, while in many states they only handle cases arising out of violations of city ordinances, traffic and/or small claims.
(簡單的說警方應該沒有找您的麻煩,所以問題應該不大,但是個人仍然建議您找律師諮詢律師應該如何處理.
至於民事的部份,如果您使用的是公司的車輛,個人會建議您可能應該讓您的公司協助處理,然而如果您使用的是您自己的車輛,就算是為公務,個人不會建議您找公司負責,因為這是一個 moving violation.(沒有在紅燈時停止行進),這是您個人的疏失,所以您的公司可能不會願意負責. (因為對方可能因此向您提出巨額的索賠,所以最好讓您自己的保險公司與對方協商處理,當然您也應該諮詢您個人的律師看看老貓的建議是否正確)
