I had a guy how found it funny to buzz by me and flip me off one time while I was a traffic stop.
Too bad for him I was just getting back in the car after finishing the stop and he was traveling in the right lane in violation of the "Move Over" law.
He got a nice traffic ticket.

most jurisdictions, no they can't. However once you do flip off a cop, you are going to want to get away fast. Therefore this increases the potential for you to do something stupid, which probably is a potential you should not increase as you were dumb enough to flip a cop the bird in the first place. Once you do something stupid, you will be pulled over. Assuming the cop does not find something to arrest you for and possibly impound your vehicle for... expect a citation a mile long. Oh and don't expect the cop to be in a good mood either, or to listen to any lame excuse you might have, or to even care for a second. Bottom line don't do it.

In PA that could be considered a "Disorderly Conduct". And that mostly depends on the community in which it takes place (including the Judges).
It varies state to state. Do you really want to get pulled out of your car through your window...if so, do it.

Hey Funny Girl, Are you serious...?
This answer is for all of us, including myself
(...just in case you are sensitive). I can't believe
your even asking such a question. It ranks a little
higher than flippin your mama off or your teacher.
We know you know the end results for doing that!
That "High fly'n finger" you might consider flipping
off a cop with might just as well be placed on or in
your person "Where The Sun Don't Shine" because
no matter how you (or all of us) "Figger Yo Finger"
there is about a 98% chance we'll all get screwed
by his or her "High fly'n ...Ticket Writ'n Finger(s)".
So Yo! Funny Girl! Go Figger Yo Finger!

in basic terms because of the fact something isn't unlawful, would not propose it is clever to do it. i could guess that the outcomes could count on the cop. some could blow it off as a waste of their time, yet I guess there are extra that should without warning have an extremely prepared activity on what you have on your wallet.

Just suppose you are being stopped.How do you know the cop wants to write a ticket?
Maybe he just wants to give you a verbal warning. Flip him, i guarantee you'll get a ticket.

Profanity and obscenity are not constitutionally protected speech. Therefore it could be a violation of your state or local laws.
Above all, it is a just plain stupid thing to do. Even if they don't cite you for anything they can inconvenience you a great deal.

It would certainly be unwise.
The office could just follow you around and wait for your dumbheaded butt to violate and then pull your smart self over and throw the book at you.
I find that people who disrespect law enforcement are those who break the law and get caught frequently. They feel "picked on", poor dears.

What this will do will cause the cop to watch for you to make some type of driving error to give you a ticket. You should think about this the next time you need one to come and help you.
