Ohio police steal woman's ID...Give it to undercover stripper:

[JohnnyRingo]

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

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.

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.

The officers did all this by using Dawson’s driver’s license and Social
Security number to hide Szuhay’s identity while she worked at the
targeted strip club, the now-closed Total Xposure in Troy.

To Dawson’s father, David Dawson, "It certainly looks like identity theft."

But it’s not, said Miami County Prosecutor Gary Nasal.

2. Isn't "Undercover Stripper" an oxymoron?
