It absolutely was not in the year 2000. Since Bush stole the office and tittle of "President of the United States of America" it no longer even resembles the same country. You may not feel it today but a reckoning is coming. He has been busy signing so many executive orders (more than I think all other Presidents combined) You can be arrested detained and executed in secret. Not just some people he has labled enemy combatants, anybody. Go to the White House web site, and find the executive orders he has signed. IT WILL STUN YOU. So who knows, every day there are new laws that you can be arrested for.

Are you kidding!?! This is America! Of course it's illegal!
But seriously, they can get you for interfering with a police officer in the line of duty. They'll find some way to get you, some charge to bust you. So you should have a pretty darn good reason for making fun of them.
PS Forgive me for being ethnocentric and assuming you are talking about cops in the US.

Actually no, but if you do and they get to know you, be prepared to make damn sure you never ever go even 1 mph over the speed limit or violate the smallest of laws. We had a teen doing that to us here in my area. So when we found out he was having a birthday party, we took the drug dog down there and all his friends that parked in the parking lot got sniffed. Busted about 8 kids and started forefeiture procedures to confiscate their cars permanently. Even told them all why we were being such *******. Needless to say, that kid has zero friends right now and about 15 traffic tickets of assorted violations, 27 in a 25 zone, improper lane usage.

Depends how you do it. If you disobey or impede any lawful command, that's against the law. Also, once you piss a cop off, usually there are a dozen things they could zap you for that you never even thought of, so it's a bad idea in any event.

I would say there is no law on the books since we do have some part of our freedom of speech still intact. The police, though, will make you pay one way or another. They will make sure you pay a higher fine or they will pass word around and watch your every move until you make a mistake and then they will get you.

As long as it's not interfering with their duties, it's allowed. However, at any one time, there are a billion little infractions that you could be breaking. Those things (like things hanging from rearveiw mirrors in Maine) are rarely enforced, but if you make fun of a cop...
Defiantly not advised.

Nope. Although there used to be laws on the books that said you couldn't insult a peace officer.
They are probably still on the books, although not enforced.
I don't recommend you do that. If you do that right to a cop's face, he/she will find something else to bust you for.

No, but I don't know why you would. Do you have the balls to go out there and do what they do? Making drug busts with people shooting at you, getting shot at for just pulling someone over? Working 12 to 14 hours a day getting paid like $9.50 and hour? Didn't think so.

In CT it is not. Police are expected to have "Thick Skin". Calling a police officer a pig, fat, lazy, ***&*^% and most other common putdowns is not illegal in itself. If you scream the words and bother others who may hear it, that may make it illegal. Or calling a police officer something like the "N" word or other bias related words is not legal also in some cases.
