I think you're on the right track, but have identified the wrong place to insert a law. It shouldn't be illegal to do this work. It should be illegal for insurance companies to abuse it through eligibility, premiums, and claims restrictions.
America is ever riskier for whistle-blowers, month by month. I hope we have a better watchdog system than insiders with a conscience.
Street view should be made illegal in general. There are no legitimate plus sides of it.
Also... Making abuse illegal won't help as they just claim they didn't use said data.
I use it to check where parking lots open onto the street, where some buildings have their facing/entrances, check street numbers to confirm that bakery IS closed and it's a tax prep office now, etc.
GMaps sat-view is horribly out of date - my apartment still doesn't exist after 5 years - but street-view is fantastic sometimes.
