Default Legalities of posting a video of doing illegal things...

Im wondering...i uploaded a video to my myspace page...lol nothing big, just me trying to be a second gear squid..haha anyway, what im doing is obviously not legal on US streets. Is there any way that someone can get tagged for this?

Anyone have an experience from this?

If you're really worried about it maybe you should stop doing it on public roads. I'm assuming that you're not really worried about it.

Technically speaking it can be used as evidence against you but there are so many videos floating around the internet it's unlikely someone will take it upon themselves to find you and prosecute you.

Hahah yeah i realize that...just the fact that its tied directly to one person, me. Im not really that worried, just wanted to see what others thought.

btw...how do you get over that balance point fear? ahhah i think im just not clutching it up far enough, so im accelerating to the bp, then feels like its gonna loop. I dunno...couple more days out and i should make some progress. Gotta get a better, more stable mount though. Im gonna try and velcro it to my tank, like a wrap under strap.

yes. they will find you. you will get in trouble. you will get fined; possibly put in jail. since you posted the vid, they can get you for intrastate misdemeanor. maybe even felony contributing to the delinquincy of a minor since teens are all over myspace. dont post it. better yet, get rid of your myspace all together. hope that helps.

&lt;------ cannot STAND myspace.

Don't worry about it being tied directly to you, star boyz?? its not a HUGE mistery who they are...and they've released several videos of doing illegal stuff/...

its throttle controll that keeps you at balance point, there is many different points that could be considered "balance point". you don't need to be doing 12's to be at balance point...i recommend standing up, much easier to see where your going, to be it feels like your not so high in the wheelie and its not as scary when it does come up to 12o clock. practice man, its all practice...get used to the feeling, if your getting scared theres no way your even close to riding balance point...cause your prolly moving all over the place and dumping the throttle as soon as the front end comes up and then slamming it back open to compensate for closing it....its all throttle controll.

well, i know ive been hitting the balance point alot...eerrr where it is for me anyway. The camera on that video was mounted funny. It was mounted under the windscreen, almost over the tach pointing at a downward angle, so it maybe doesnt look like im that high. If you look at the road, and how much i come up, you can tell.

Anyway, i can feel the bike just come loose, like squishy..hahah and any touch of the throttle and i find myself using the rear brake in fear of looping. I do stand up when i do them, sitting down i cant shift my body wieght, makes for difficulties, but standing up, i feel like im standing almost straight up at times, and can lean forward/backward to compensate. Anyway, hopefully i get it before i total this one. lol.

Humm to me it looks like your nowhere near balance point there, your front wheel is maybe a foot or 2 off the deck, Id say you gotta bring it up higher, its hard to tell without a side profile though. practice practice, maybe stay in first gear where you have better engine braking.

The only thing I've heard about myspace is that employers were using the site for looking up information about people that apply there..

Like dude man up top said, it can be used against you as evidence.


Be careful what u put on the internet because once its on there its there foooreverrrr. Ive had some friends get in trouble because of posting pictures of underage drinking. Our school has actually gone through facebook and myspace to find anything they can use against you.

Yes you can, and no, I don't suggest it. The forks are so soft, it can get a bit interesting coming down.

There was a guy who sold videos of doing 200 mph in his F40 Ferrari, he sold a copy to an undercover cop. They gave him tickets and i think jail time also.
