Transit By-law Ticket
Okay so myself and 3 friends were in our car at a Transit Station Park-and-Ride.
The transit officer came up to the vehicle and saw marijuana in the car, he searched the car and left us with tickets that read
'Possesion of illegal drugs contrary to the City of Ottawa Public Transit By-Law 2007-268 section 19-2C'
We are all required to attend a court date in march due to the fact that there is not set fine for this. (See link below)

Clearly we were not charged through the criminal code but I'm wondering if this could turn into a criminal record somehow?
Thank you in advance.
