If your name is interchangeable with any number of "cousins" and you don't turn up at court you won't have a criminal record...
If you are arrested, then your photograph, fingerprints and DNA will all be recorded. If you don't turn up in court, that is a further offence, and if you try sending someone else in your place, then as a former cabinet minister and his ex-wife discovered, you could end up with six months inside for conspiracy to pervert the course of justice on top of any other penalty.
