  • Legality of Mentioning the Name of an Informant

    From Damon Getsman@1:282/1057 to All on Sat Feb 1 16:29:36 2014
    Just curious as to whether or not might know if it's illegal (at least in the state of North Dakota) to babble the name of somebody who is [suspected of being] a paid informant to local law enforcement. I've got a friend who is wondering this because he ended up in a really crappy situation that is only getting worse because of a two-faced informant who uses his paid informant status with the local law enforcement as a way to get legal immunity locally (for impunity against his drug habits), as well as a legal bludgeon to use his kids from his marriage as a pawn against his wife that he is [physically] separated from. He's a real piece of work, even has a two story house in the city that he works in where he hides his children from their mother (despite their still legal marriage and no restraining orders between them) that is packed full of weapons despite his status as a multiple felon.
    Any information you might have on this kind of situation would be greatly appreciated by my good friend who has ended up in a really shitty raw deal kind of situation.
