Would you get arrested if you entered a home without permission but had a key to the home?
My friend says that if you have the key (even a stolen key) to someones home you have the full right to enter the home when ever you please, despite you do not have permission from the home owner, and on top of that... He said that even if the key was stolen, all you'd have to say is the home owner gave it to you and you no charges can be pressed even if the home owner denies giving the person the key to his home. is this all true? I'm saying its bullcrap...
I live in Utah if that makes a difference, but will someone please just clear this all up for us?

Your friend is an idiot and if you listen to him...make sure he is available to bail you out of jail. You have no right to enter anyone's home, even if you have a key. ESPECIALLY if the key was stolen.

Trespassing is still trespassing even if you have a key. The door can be standing wide open and if you don't have permission to enter it's a crime to do so.

you need to quit listening to your friend, their an idiot.yes you will get arrested for tresspassing and maybe buglary. you don't think the police aren't going to ask the homeowner if you have a right to enter the house?
and if you have a stolen key, you could get arrested for receiving stolen property.
