The state legislature in the U.S. state of Louisiana has passed a law
adding extra time for committing a crime with an online map. Senate Bill
151
<http://www.legis.state.la.us/billdata/streamdocument.asp?did=710345>
adds at least one year to the sentence of any criminal found guilty of
using an "Internet, virtual, street-level map" like Google Maps with
Street View <http://maps.google.com/help/maps/streetview/> to commit a
crime.

    "'Internet, virtual, street-level map' means any map or image that
    contains the picture or pictures of homes, buildings, or people that
    are taken and dispensed, electronically, over the Internet or by a
    computer network, where the picture can be accessed by entering the
    address of the home, building, or person."
