any lawyers in the house?

In Ohio, identity theft is done by the cops, and it's legal

Authorities gave Michelle Szuhay  another woman’s identity to use while
undercover.

Haley Dawson has never been a stripper.

But Ohio liquor-control agents took her identity and gave it to a
22-year-old college student who they had recruited to work undercover as
a nude dancer.

Yeah, wow, would I be pissed off.

Any comment on the legality of giving out someone's social security number?

As part of an investigation that resulted in nothing more than
misdemeanor charges, police paid University of Dayton criminal-justice
student Michelle Szuhay $100 a night to take it all off in early 2003 —
as liquor-control officers drank beer and watched in the audience for
three months, court papers show.

Other officers watched her strip on the Internet, using an account
created under the identity of a dead man.

Am also wondering why they didn't use a dead woman's ID for the stripper part.  and why the cops had to watch...

For anyone who's too lazy to watch the video, here's a pic of the "stripper" describing her "internship" with the "marshalls":

    It just goes to show -- whenever you think you've hit the absolute bottom level of human intelligence, there's someone ready with a shovel.
