This stems from a Maryland Case. A Maryland motorist was arrested for giving a cop the finger after receiving a ticket. He took all the way to SCOTUS. They basically decided that it would be protected speech if he had given the President the finger and the Officer was not entitled to protections not afforded to the President. So Maryland has established your Constitutional right to give the finger to the Police and The President. Ahhhh, Maryland my Maryland.
