Merely being witness to a crime will not give you a criminal record. The only time you will have something put on your criminal record is if you are arrested and charged with a crime. even if you were charged with a crime and found not guilty or the charges were later dismissed for whatever reason, the fact that you were arrested and charged would appear on your criminal record. If you are an innocent witness to a crime, meaning not involved, you may be called by the prosecutor to testify in court if the perpetrator is charged. Nothing to worry about.
