===Kentucky=== Burglary and the intended crime, if carried out, are treated as separate offenses. Burglary is a felony, even when the intended crime is a misdemeanor, and the intent to commit the crime can occur when one "enters or remains unlawfully" in the building, expanding the common-law definition. It has three degrees. Third-degree burglary is the broadest, and applies to any building or other premises. Second-degree burglary retains the common-law element of a dwelling, and first-degree burglary requires that the accused be in a dwelling and armed with a weapon or have intent to cause injury.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.lrc.state.ky.us/KRS/511-00/CHAPTER.HTM |title=KRS 511.010β511.040 |access-date=2007-09-21 |archive-date=2008-01-24 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080124044011/http://www.lrc.state.ky.us/KRS/511-00/CHAPTER.HTM |url-status=dead }}</ref> A related offense, criminal trespass, covers unlawful entry to buildings or premises without the intent to commit a crime, and is a misdemeanor or, in the third degree, a violation.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.lrc.state.ky.us/KRS/511-00/CHAPTER.HTM |title=KRS 511.060β511.080 |access-date=2007-09-21 |archive-date=2008-01-24 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080124044011/http://www.lrc.state.ky.us/KRS/511-00/CHAPTER.HTM |url-status=dead }}</ref> Possession of burglar's tools, with the intent to use them to commit burglary or theft, is a misdemeanor.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.lrc.state.ky.us/KRS/511-00/CHAPTER.HTM |title=KRS 511.050 |access-date=2007-09-21 |archive-date=2008-01-24 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080124044011/http://www.lrc.state.ky.us/KRS/511-00/CHAPTER.HTM |url-status=dead }}</ref>
