Son Of Sam Law

The 1983 statute, nicknamed the "Son of Sam" law, required that convicted
criminals give all money earned from book, movie or other deals to their
victims or the state.

A Son of Sam law is a law designed to keep criminals from profiting from their
crimes by selling their stories to publishers. Such laws authorize the state
to seize all money earned from such a deal and use it to compensate the
criminal's victims.

The first such law was created in New York after the Son of Sam killings. It
was enacted after rampant speculation about publishers offering large amounts
of money for the serial killer's story. The law was invoked in New York eleven
times between 1977 and 1990, including once against Mark David Chapman.

Critics disputed the law on First Amendment grounds. Also, it was argued that
it would take away the financial incentive for many criminals to tell their
stories, some of which (such as the Watergate scandal) were of vital interest
to the general public.

簡單來說....
就是犯罪者如果利用自己的犯罪來賺錢的話(例如寫書拍電影)
這筆錢必須全數分給受害人家屬或是繳給州政府
