Go ahead, flip them off.
You always want to draw the attention of the police in a negative way. Be sure to piss them off early. Good idea.

I was told it wasn't illegal if you do it from inside your car, but if you put your arm out the window they can nail you for improper signaling or something dumb. Cops are A-holes tho. Flipping one off may not give one the right to come after you, but my guess is they will find a reason to arrest for something. |

"still a good way to have your licence plate on the pull this prick over for anything wall"
It's actually illegal for police to have a blacklist like that. The NYPD has a database of everyone who receives a summons and keeps the information (even if the persons case is dismissed) as a part of their "stop & frisk" policy. The ACLU found out and is going after them because, in keeping this list, the NYPD is actually violating state laws concerning privacy & sealed records. |

If you're so thin skinned that somebody flipping you off makes you throw your cop weight around you should be looking for a new line of work. |

@codejockey, nope it is NOT free speech. You really should read up on what that actually means. |

Freedom of expression taken to the extreme?
Also remember you CANNOT do this if an officer gives you an instruction. Even if is a very simple one. |

Making an obscene gesture at a cop is usually against a local ordinance but, I'd say it's also free speech. |

Sounds like this judge uses common sense. Nice to see that. |

Link: Giving Cops A Middle Finger Is NOT A Crime [Rate Link] - NY federal court rules flipping off a cop is not a basis for reasonable suspicion. So you have that in your arsenal now. |
