Cops are not drafted or forced to do their job. They are paid professsionals, that's it. I get so sick of moronic cops that have this attitude that if you "rub them the wrong way" they are justified in bending the law to harass you.
No......I don't have anything against all cops. I have family members in law enforcement.

No, it's not.
Flipping off a LEO is a sure sign something is up and gives reason for the LEO to check that person out further. What if it was some whack job that was banged out of his mind and had a hankering to do some killing and thought the Po-Po was was nothing but a joke.... so flip them off.
Open disrespect of authority for no apparent reason is a great way to get looked at closer. It's not a cop using his position to harass, it's using their training to identify a potential BG before he doesn't something rash.
If a person did something like that and then committed a crime, the same whiners here would be complaining that the LEO didn't do anything to stop the guy when he was obviously disturbed.
