Of course you can't be arrested but you can draw the officers attention, And with that, you are now a person of interest.
So of course he may wish to check why you are there, what type of possible terrorist activity you are doing with your camera, and perhaps he remembered you were in the roadway when you made you handsign, you could then be given a ticket for jaywalking or somee other sign of love that he can give you in return.

First of all, try wearing the cops shoes for awhile and then asking the same question. I suspect that a cop can find a reason to arrest you on any day, but I suggest that you don't give him or her any love sign when they are in the process of saving your life.

What were you hoping to accomplish with that gesture? Did you NOT want a reaction from the police man? It's a natural law that every action has an equal and opposite re-action, so if you do something and a consequence results from it, don't act surprised.

You never know really....you can be arrested for flicking them off--so, I guess if they don't like what symbol you are making, or don't know what it is you are doing, they may harrass you a bit. Your better off not making ANY hand signs to a cop...just to be safe. Feel free to do it to the rest of the world though.

they dont have the powers to arrest you so hand shake away. I love the way the two fingers sign is an offensive sign, yet if you turn it around it means peace!

Yes.
Check out the 1997 harrasment act. If you carry out an action which you know is likely to cause offence, then it is an offence.

Yes It is an offence to make signs that can be interpreted as being obscene

Well the fact that your actually calling the guy a w*nker probaly dont go down too well. It might be taken as abuse, even though its not physical or verbal it's still abuse.
