RE: Cop wave?
I live next to a police station so I give the deuce every time I see them, which is quite a bit. They usually return the gesture or nod. They have even pulled up next to me and we've exchanged the standard "Be safe" and off we go.

RE: Cop wave?
I wave to stopped cops... moving cops... and bike cops... they are all doing their job protecting me and my belongings... I always think that maybe that wave or nod of appreciation adds a little bit of positive to their day. Remember, these guys deal with the worst of the worst and they may have an attitude every now and then but you would too in their position. Besides, they may remember the little red sportbike rider in red gear that said "hey, hows your day going" and give me a break if I make a mistake. I say 'hey... how's it going' as many chances as I get.

RE: Cop wave?
i wave to all motorcyclists.. even the friendly scooterist.. the only thing that gets me wondering when i wave to a cop is maybe "is he signaling me for help or just waving?" i mean it makes no sense right? but that's how my mind works..
they do have to deal with some alot of a-holes - it's nice to get a wave or a thumbs up now and then..

Might just make some dudes day with a friendly gesture. Even with typical small talk. Im sure they appreciate it. I imagine I would. Ain't it "treat others how you would like to be treated"? Somethin like that. Never know, the guy might give you a break some day!
