In the USA? Well in most states we are not even required to wear helmets. I have heard that the police don't like being videoed ( or photographed for that matter) but I don't think it's actually illegal to do so, and many do film encounters between themselves and police.
Another aspect is police feel they should be able to confiscate the camera to use as evidence of wrong doing by the motorcyclist, but I believe that has been settled in court, with the outcome being the cameras are private property of the owner and cannot be confiscated, but police can subpoena them I believe.
All I have said is hearsay however since I have never verified things I have heard/ read since I have no desire to film my riding anyway. I mean who wants to see bad lines ridden slowly?
Come on mate. Your modesty, while commendable, is entirely unwarranted.
