 using it without permission can give you police problems, if your

The rule I've generally used is that if they're using a default standard SSID, no WEP, not locked to specific MAC addresses, and allowing anyone to DHCP (basically running as wide-open as possible), then it's going to be more difficult to prosecute you for trespassing.

If they've done anything to secure their network, then you've got more serious legal issues.
