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.
