Depends on what you mean by "record". If you mean can an employer or someone else do a computer search or go to the courthouse, search your name, and then find out you had ordinance violation charges--then yes there is a record. If you mean a more official criminal record to the point it would affect future criminal cases you may be charged with, then generally no, you don't have that type of criminal record. Ordinance violations do not reach the level of normal criminal record because, among other things, the prosecution's burded of proof is not as high as in a normal criminal case.
