No it doesn't? For example, the Golden Gate Bridge is not a stealth bot.

Under the assumption that the Golden Gate Bridge was sending web requests, how would you tell that it wasn't a stealth bot?
You can have a law like that. In fact, we already do have laws like that. This is the general concept of a tort.
But the work of the law is being done by the discussion of harm, not the definition of "stealth bot".
