This is first degree tampering. She may have said this has happened more than once.
Yes, she got out of the car the second she noticed it was another car...but Police...didn't she commit a felony?
Would you arrest her?
I would hope not, but I want your answer.

If my own mother may have commited a felony by a mistake, hasn't everyone done the same?
Even cops?
Shouldn't everyone loose their gun rights, and have to explain to potential employers they are felons?

No big as the cops know that this can happen. Even if an issue was made you would just simply show up in court and show that you have the same or similar vehicle.
People think that all keys are car specific but there are only so many key combinations possible in regular key locks. Over the years a have twice opened the exact same car by mistake...... odds are slim but it happens. A couple of times I have pressed the "open" on my keys and noticed an adjoining car opened. Once I just hopped in and it took a moment to realize it was not my car. I'm not a hairbrain but instead this happened over years.
Though technically a crime if it came down to it the police or judge would just go "whatever". No harm, no foul.

Not a felony here, not even a criminal act. She just opened the door to a car she thought belonged to her. I've done it and it is embarrassing but not in any way illegal. It's like walking into the ladies room by mistake or opening a closet door thinking you are about to go outside. Dumb things just happen sometimes.

I would say if she immediatly got out of the car even if she was arrested it would never hold up in court as long as nothing was missing. What I would like to know is how her key opened up another car door. Each key is coded differently. If they were all coded the same we would wake up every morning with our cars missing from our driveways.

The 'lock and key' metaphor refers back to the prudent prepare of retaining solid passwords for all your computing gadget bills, the two online of off-line. Use a stem password which you would be able to remember devoid of writing it everywhere. upload to that a secondary password that applies basically to the account that's being secured. upload to that a 'padding' sequence of four-6 characters whose basically purpose is to make the final password longer. long passwords foil brute-tension cracking programmes. as an occasion, you may build a Yahoo! account password as something like this: aWlottaLUV {Your customary Led Zeppelin music} yah! {Yahoo! account tag} ++++ {extra effective padding} So your password could be "aWlottaLUV@yah!@++++". very nearly uncrackable. yet you basically could desire to remember the 1st section.

for something to be a property crime usually requires what is known as mens rea- or a culpable state of mind. If there is no intent and no overt recklessness, it's just a mistake with no criminal liability.

I am pretty sure car keys are not generic. One key for a Buick Century isn't going to open the door of another Buick Century....something ain't right here honey.....and that's why she was arrested.

This is a mistake. There is no intent, so there is no crime.
