Can i post myself lane splitting / filtering through traffic?
Hey everyone, a genuine question from people who post riding content online.
I ride in NYC and sometimes filter/split through traffic. I’ve been thinking about posting more motovlog-style clips, but I also show my face pretty often on my channel, and if someone really wanted to, they could probably identify my bike/license plate too.
For those of you who post riding content:
- Do you avoid posting lane filtering/splitting clips entirely?
- Do people blur plates/faces or just not care?
- Has anyone actually had law enforcement contact them over videos posted online?
- Do cops/departments actively look through motorcycle content, or is that mostly internet paranoia?
- Is it different in NYC specifically?
- Do you delay uploads or avoid posting locations/timestamps?
I know tons of riders post this stuff online, especially on YouTube/Instagram/TikTok, but I’m curious what the actual risk level is from people with real experience.
Not asking for legal advice - just trying to understand how careful people are in practice.
