“In Nichols v. Chacon (W.D. Ark. 2000), a federal district court in Arkansas ruled that law enforcement officials violated the First Amendment rights of a man when they retaliated against him for flipping them the bird. “While we agree the gesture utilized by Nichols was crude, insensitive, offensive, and disturbing to Chacon’s sensibilities, it was not obscene under the relevant Supreme Court precedent, did not constitute ‘fighting words,’ and was protected as ‘free speech’ under the First Amendment to the United States Constitution,” the opinion said.”
Of course, if you do you will probably be arrested for disorderly conduct. Whomped upside the head with a phone book. (it doesn’t leave marks) Maybe tasered.
parsy.

Maybe in the donut shop.
Certainly not at a crime scene or where it would distract a cop from his duties.
