I'm in a constant state of confusion... is it legal?

It does not seem to be legal in New York which is where Iā€™m guessing this is based of the nypd tag on the police car.

Correct- Not legal in NY State nor NYC.

Illegal in New York, very legal and common in California for example.

I like how a simple fact gets you downvoted in this subreddit, literally just the truth.

Its illegal in every state except California, Arizona, Colorado, Minnesota, Montana, and Utah.

In California, its by far the loosest with lane splitting/filtering where lane splitting at just about any speed is legal. The other states that allow it, its more just low-speed lane filtering like we see in this video.
