This has to end well

Wonder how long it will be before 'other' people will start using this tactic for 'other' reasons:

The Colorado Supreme Court has reversed the conviction of a man who admitted using someone else's Social Security number to obtain a loan, concluding that the defendant wasn't really trying to assume a false identity.

True, this guy was only getting a loan with someone else's SSN, but with the door open, I can see criminals jumping at the chance to abuse this ruling.
