Best Answer

A person reported you as a trespasser and the police arrested you for trespassing. Your best recourse is to contact the property owner and have them speak to the police and explain that you were permitted to be on the property and should not have been arrested. If the property owner would not have wanted you on the property, you are guilty of trespassing. If the police caught you redhanded, trespassing on the property, your best recourse is to plead no contest and be remorseful at your court appearance.

You can challenge the validity of the arrest by providing evidence that you had permission to be on the property from the actual owner or tenant. You may also consider hiring a lawyer to help defend your case and ensure that your rights are protected during legal proceedings.

Can you be arrested for trespassing if a person allows you to come to a house but its not the person's property?

Yes. Depending on the circumstances. If the person who invited you is not the owner and does not have any right to be on the premises then they don't have any right to invite you and you have no right to be there. The situation may change if the person rents a room or apartment at the property or is staying there with the permission of the owner.
